DogeCoin

Dogecoin (DOGE) is an open-source, peer-to-peer cryptocurrency. It was created in 2013 as a fun alternative to traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Dogecoin features a Shiba Inu, a Japanese dog breed, as its logo, and is considered both the first "meme coin" and, more specifically, the first "dog coin." Despite its humorous nature, Dogecoin functions as a digital form of payment and an investment product. It uses proof-of-work technology. Compared to Bitcoin, Dogecoin has faster block time and transaction speed, although the BTC network is more secure than that of DOGE.
