Dogecoin DOGE/USD turns 9 years old today — that’s nearly 50 years when measured in Shiba Inu years.
The bellwether meme coin was introduced on Dec. 6, 2013, to the world by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer as a satire on cryptocurrencies.
The coin has since gone on to attract a millions-strong community with celebrities and common folk alike gravitating towards it — pulled by the lure of its cute Shiba Inu mascot.
Elon Musk is a well-known DOGE bull but the cryptocurrency also counts Mark Cuban and Snoop Dogg among its fans.
