DOGE
What is Dogecoin?
Dogecoin is the original memecoin. Launched back in December 2013 as a parody of the first wave of Bitcoin mania, Dogecoin took as its mascot the Shiba Inu featured in the then omnipresent doge meme (much wow!).
Dogecoin has no defined purpose. Intended as a comment on Bitcoin’s replicability and the low barrier to creating crypto knock-offs, it could perhaps, nine years on, be best thought of as a joke that’s gotten way out of hand.
However, the community that has formed around Dogecoin is undeniably strong (ft. Elon Musk) and its low unit price (courtesy of a 132 billion coin supply) and generally tongue-in-cheek nature means that DOGE has become a common entry point for those getting started in cryptocurrency.

Where can I store my Dogecoin?
You can store your Dogecoin in a hardware wallet or on a trusted exchange. Hardware wallets (such as the Ledger) offer high level security, allowing you to store your crypto offline in a unit that only you have the password for. However, exchanges such as CoinJar also provide excellent security, keeping more than 90% of our crypto in cold storage or private, multi-sig wallets and offering our users next-gen 2FA account protection as default.
Who created DOGE?
Dogecoin was created by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer in December 2013 as a satire on the Bitcoin frenzy. It’s safe to say that they did not envision where their joke was going to end up.

Like all investments, cryptoassets carry risk. Due to the potential volatility of the cryptoasset markets, the value of your investments may fall significantly and lead to total loss. Cryptoassets are complex and are unregulated in the UK, and you are unable to access the Financial Service Compensation Scheme or the Financial Ombudsman Service. We use third party banking, safekeeping and payment providers, and the failure of any of these providers could also lead to a loss of your assets. We recommend you obtain financial advice before making a decision to use your credit card to purchase cryptoassets or to invest in cryptoassets. Capital Gains Tax may be payable on profits.
