Into The Block goes as far as to assume that “the majority of $DOGE investors must be happy.”

The report follows recent remarks by David Gokhshtein — cryptocurrency investor, entrepreneur, and CEO of crypto media firm Gokhshtein Media and PAC Protocol (CRYPTO: PAC) — that Dogecoin is headed for $1.

He believes that the coin’s value is largely attributable to it acting as a gateway for newbies to enter the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Price Action: According to CoinMarketCap data, Dogecoin’s price grew by over 13.3% from its 24-hours low of $0.2314 to a high of $0.2622 before settling at $0.2559 as of press time.
