December 18, 2020, around $3,500.
That’s all I had left from the previous bear market. Lost everything in shitcoins (sold around 500k DOGE). I only held ETH and BTC.
April 8, 2021, $300.
Lost almost everything doing leverage, following stupid KOLs.
So, I started aping shitcoins on BSC with a few bucks ($5-10).
No bots, no AI, no snipers for plebs... Just open PooCoin, check the explorer, and pray. Good old good times!
“OK, boomer, why this post ❓”
Because I have many new crypto friends who got burned in 2024/2025, going from three figures to five/six figures and back to one in the last few months.
I’m probably too conservative, but look at the picture, it's my portfolio
❗️Manifesting ❗️
Set Clear Intentions: Visualize specific, realistic goals—e.g., recovering to a stable $10k portfolio or building a diversified bag with 50% blue chips, 30% farming, and 20% calculated shitcoin bets. Write it down to solidify your focus.
Preserve Capital (Your Key Rule): Mentally commit to never risking more than 5-10% of your portfolio on high-risk plays (like BSC shitcoins). Picture your $3,500 growing steadily by avoiding leverage traps and KOL hype.
Diversify Strategically:
Farming: Seek low-risk yield farms with audited protocols (check DeFiLlama for TVL and safety). Manifest steady 10-20% APYs rather than chasing 1000% scams.
Airdrops: Hunt under-the-radar airdrops (e.g., check X for niche L2 or DeFi projects, not overhyped ones like Monad). Visualize finding one gem that 10x’s your $5-10 entry.
Blue Chips: Picture buying BTC or other solid projects during dips (e.g., when fear dominates X sentiment). Avoid ETH if you’re wary of foundation selling—focus on assets with strong fundamentals.
Small Gambles: Allocate $5-10 for fun, high-risk bets on BSC or similar chains, but imagine cutting losses quickly if they don’t pan out.
Avoid Past Mistakes: Reflect on your losses. Manifest discipline by steering clear of FOMO and unverified KOLs. Check X for community sentiment.
Take Breaks: Visualize stepping away from charts to recharge. A clear mind helps you spot real opportunities (like that next undervalued airdrop) without emotional trades.
Practical Rituals: To reinforce your manifestation:
Check one new project daily focusing on utility or tech (e.g., cross-chain bridges or DeFi with real use cases).
Track your portfolio weekly to stay grounded.
Save a small “win fund” for when a trade hits—e.g., take 20% profits to treat yourself, reinforcing positive momentum.
Be a good person: don't scam, don't rug, picture yourself as a crypto “fren” who lifts others up, not tears them down

Dogecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency based on a Shiba Inu dog internet meme that went viral on social media. Dogecoin was originally created to poke fun at other cryptocurrency projects being launched at the time, but it quickly gained a devoted fan base that discovered and developed new use cases for the asset. DOGE is considered the first memecoin and the first dog coin.
Dogecoin claims to be significantly faster and less expensive than Bitcoin. For example, it can process approximately 33 transactions per second, compared to approximately five transactions per second on the Bitcoin network.
In 2014, members of the Dogecoin team started the Dogecoin Foundation, a non-profit to provide support, governance, advocacy, and trademark protection for the token.
While the native token, DOGE, was initially developed without any specific utility, its use as a digital currency has increased over the years. Reportedly, as of mid-2024, over 2,000 merchants across the world accepted DOGE as payment. To this day, Dogecoin has one of the most robust and vibrant online communities in the crypto space.
How does Dogecoin work?
Dogecoin uses a Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism cloned from Litecoin's network. It uses the Scrypt mining algorithm to validate transactions.
Dogecoin, similar to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and altcoins, can be created through mining. Mining Dogecoin is a way to both support the network and gain new DOGE tokens in the process. This computationally intensive process involves computers competing to solve complex mathematical problems to verify transactions and secure the blockchain network. When miners successfully solve these problems and contribute to the network's security, they're rewarded with DOGE.
Dogecoin's blockchain network allows users to send DOGE to other users anywhere in the world without needing a financial intermediary to process the transaction. Transactions made over the network are permanently recorded and can't be erased or reversed. Dogecoin's network can process up to 40 transactions per second, making it faster than Bitcoin's. It also has much lower transaction fees than Bitcoin.
DOGE price and tokenomics
Dogecoin had a maximum supply of 100 billion tokens on launch, which later changed to an infinite supply. As a result, Dogecoin is inflationary, meaning its supply of circa 145 billion as of mid-2024 will only grow over time. New DOGE tokens are created through mining.
DOGE's circulating supply equals its total supply, indicating that all tokens are in the hands of users, with the development team holding no DOGE. Each year, 5 billion new DOGE tokens are created, giving the cryptocurrency an inflation rate of around 4% — a low figure compared to other inflationary currencies.
Dogecoin prices experience significant volatility, fueled by the inherent volatility of memecoins and the asset's close association with vocal, high-profile individuals such as Elon Musk.
DOGE experienced tremendous popularity and was one of the most trending tokens during the 2021 bull run, cementing its position as one of the top digital assets of the year. The Dogecoin price reached an all-time high of $0.74000 on May 8, 2021.
About the founders
Dogecoin was created by Billy Markus, an IBM software engineer, and Jackson Palmer, senior director of product management at Adobe.
Shiba dog memes had been shared on the internet for a while, and the popular meme drew attention to the token. According to Palmer, the meme supported the accessibility of cryptocurrencies at a time when Bitcoin was viewed as a shady technology linked to the dark web. Dogecoin sparked public interest in learning more about cryptocurrencies. In 2015, Palmer left the cryptocurrency world and denounced the way people were making money from crypto.
The Dogecoin Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the use and development of the Dogecoin network. While the foundation was initially formed in 2014, it has since undergone several changes and periods of inactivity. In 2021, members of the Dogecoin community revived the foundation and began working on a range of initiatives to improve the network's functionality and expand its user base.
In 2021, the foundation began working on a staking mechanism in partnership with Vitalik Buterin, one of the founders of the world's second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Ethereum.
The foundation has not officially worked with billionaire celebrity Elon Musk, but Musk's tweets and public statements about Dogecoin have helped to boost the token's popularity and price. Some members of the Dogecoin community have expressed hope that Musk will become more directly involved with the foundation in the future.
Dogecoin Foundation
Set up in 2014, the Dogecoin Foundation became inactive for a period and was eventually dissolved. In 2021, the foundation was relaunched with a board consisting of members of the core team and seasoned industry players, including Ethereum co-founder Vitalk Buterin, as advisors.
The foundation works to develop new features and maintain the project to improve its utility. February 10, 2024 saw the foundation launch its 2024 roadmap which outlines developments to enhance Dogecoin's existing projects and introduce new initiatives that strengthen the project. One major inclusion in the roadmap was the official adoption of RadioDoge, which seeks to expand Dogecoin's reach into under-served areas with unreliable or no internet connectivity. RadioDoge combines long-range RF protocols and the Starlink satellite network — operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX — to provide more reliable connectivity.
Dogecoin and Elon Musk
Celebrity entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk has often publicly displayed his strong interest in and support for Dogecoin. Musk, known to be an avid fan of memes, has endorsed the project several times, often sparking massive user interest and optimism, along with wild speculation. He usually takes to X — the platform he now owns — to express his positive views and hopes for the memecoin.
The "Dogefather," as he is called, began showing his support for Dogecoin in late 2020 in a post on X (then Twitter) and has continued to share his thoughts about Dogecoin ever since. Due to Musk's status and popularity, the DOGE price can fluctuate wildly whenever he mentions the token, adding to its already high volatility.
Musk has not only expressed favorable views on the project but has even taken steps to promote it. For example, he heralded the acceptance of Dogecoin by Tesla, the world's largest automaker – a company he runs. Another of his companies, SpaceX, also announced that it would fund a rideshare mission to the moon entirely in Dogecoin, making the mission the first of its kind.
Meanwhile, Musk has crowdsourced ideas for the development of Dogecoin and even promised to work with Dogecoin's development team to improve the blockchain. His actions could also be said to have inspired other famous celebrities and influential people, such as Mark Cuban and Snoop Dogg, to support Dogecoin.
Musk's actions, however, have not been welcomed by all. He has often been accused of manipulating Dogecoin with his comments, a claim echoed by Dogecoin co-founder Jackson Palmer, who left the project in 2015.
What is Dogecoin's GigaWallet project
The Dogecoin team has often reiterated its commitment to making sure that Dogecoin has utility beyond just being a popular meme. As such, they've embarked on several projects to improve the usefulness of the memecoin. One such project is GigaWallet, which aims to build an enterprise-grade service that merchants can easily adopt to accept and process Dogecoin transactions.
What is the Dogecoin Standard
The Dogecoin Standard refers to the specifications and rules that define how the cryptocurrency operates, including its consensus algorithm, block time, mining reward, and other technical details. It's the foundation that allows the Dogecoin network to function as a decentralized and secure system for transferring value.
What Is Dogecoin's Libdogecoin
Libdogecoin is an open-source software library that provides developers with the tools and resources they need to build decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and services that interact with the Dogecoin network, without the need for them to have extensive knowledge of how Dogecoin works. It's essentially a collection of programming code and libraries that simplify the process of building new software that uses the Dogecoin Standard. With Libdogecoin, developers can easily write code that interacts with the Dogecoin network, creating new applications that allow users to send and receive Dogecoin, manage their wallets, and interact with other users on the network.
DOGE adoption by Tesla, SpaceX, and the Dallas Mavericks
The 2021 bull market brought a surge of interest to Dogecoin, and high-profile examples of the asset's adoption. In March 2021, billionaire Mark Cuban announced that the Dallas Mavericks NBA team would accept DOGE for ticket and product purchases. In just two days, the Mavericks processed a record-breaking 20,000+ transactions in DOGE.
Then, during January 2022, automaker Tesla began accepting DOGE payments for merchandise in its store, as announced a month earlier by CEO Elon Musk. The price of DOGE spiked 11 percent before the feature went live. Musk also announced in 2022 that Tesla's supercharging station in Santa Monica would accept DOGE. What's more, the entrepreneur declared that aerospace company SpaceX will begin accepting DOGE payments for their merchandise, and will fund a mission to the moon called DOGE-1 with DOGE. Several notable companies, like AMC, have followed suit in their acceptance of Dogecoin.
Latest Dogecoin news
March 2024 saw the DOGE price surge to its highest level since December 2021 following speculation the token would be integrated with X. Fueling the move was commentary around X's payment division being awarded new licences in the U.S., which led some to suggest this would open the door to crypto payments on the platform. In the same month, Dogecoin overtook blockchain platform Cardano to become the ninth biggest cryptocurrency by market cap.
In May 2024, Donald Trump announced that he'd begin accepting cryptocurrencies including Dogecoin as political donations, as the Republican presidential nominee signalled his support of digital assets. SHIB, XRP, and BTC were also among the tokens accepted by the Trump campaign towards his election bid. In July 2024, a Bloomberg article spotlighted how migrants in Venezuela have turned to cryptocurrencies including Dogecoin for remittance transfers, citing the low transactions fees involved.

Dogecoin FAQ
What was Dogecoin's all-time high price?
DOGE recorded its all-time high on May 8, 2021, when it reached $0.74. The all-time high is the highest price ever recorded for Dogecoin since its launch. At the time, the market capitalization of Dogecoin reached $82.43 billion.
What is the total supply of DOGE?
Dogecoin has adopted an inflationary model, meaning that the DOGE supply is designed to increase over time. Therefore, there is no maximum hard cap on the supply of DOGE. Miners receive 10,000 DOGE tokens every minute, and 5 billion tokens are added to circulation annually. As of September 2022, over 132 billion DOGE tokens were in circulation.
Does Dogecoin have any uses?
Although DOGE was created with no vision for long-term growth or adoption, its community has focused on increasing its real-world usage over time. For example, DOGE can be used to purchase movie tickets, Tesla merchandise, or even tip Twitter users.
Will Dogecoin become environmentally friendly?
Like its peers that use the Proof of Work (PoW) mining algorithm, Dogecoin has been the subject of criticism for its substantial carbon footprint.

Consensus Mechanism
Dogecoin (DOGE) uses a Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism, similar to Bitcoin, but with some key differences. Core Concepts 1. Nodes and Miners: Nodes: Nodes in the Dogecoin network are computers running the Dogecoin software. They validate transactions, maintain the blockchain, and relay information across the network. Miners: Miners are specialized nodes that solve cryptographic puzzles to create new blocks and validate transactions. This process is known as mining. 2. Blockchain: The blockchain is a public ledger that records all Dogecoin transactions in a series of blocks. Each block contains a list of transactions, a reference to the previous block (hash), a timestamp, and a nonce (a random number used once). 3. Hash Functions: Dogecoin uses the Scrypt hash function, which is different from Bitcoin's SHA-256. Scrypt is designed to be more memory-intensive, making it more resistant to ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) mining and encouraging more widespread participation by regular users with less powerful hardware. Consensus Process 1. Transaction Validation: Transactions are broadcast to the network and collected by miners into a block. Each transaction is validated by nodes to ensure it adheres to the network's rules, such as correct signatures and sufficient funds. 2. Mining and Block Creation: Nonce and Hash Puzzle: Miners compete to find a nonce that, when combined with the block's data and passed through the Scrypt hash function, produces a hash below a certain target value. This target value is adjusted periodically to maintain a consistent block creation time. Proof of Work: Finding a valid nonce requires significant computational effort. Once a miner finds a valid nonce, the new block is broadcast to the network. 3. Block Validation and Addition: Other nodes in the network verify the new block to ensure the hash is correct and that all transactions within the block are valid. If the block is valid, nodes add it to their copy of the blockchain, and the process repeats for the next block. 4. Chain Consensus: The longest chain (the chain with the most accumulated proof of work) is considered the valid chain by the network. Nodes always work to extend the longest valid chain. In the case of multiple valid chains (forks), the network will eventually resolve the fork by continuing to mine and extending one chain until it becomes longer. Security and Economic Incentives 1. Incentives for Miners: Block Rewards: Miners are incentivized to participate in the network by receiving block rewards. Initially, Dogecoin had a variable block reward, but now it offers a fixed reward of 10,000 DOGE per block. Transaction Fees: Miners also collect transaction fees from the transactions included in the block. These fees provide an additional incentive for miners. 2. Security: Hash Rate and Difficulty: The security of the Dogecoin network is directly proportional to its hash rate, the total computational power of all miners. A higher hash rate means more difficult and costly attacks. 51% Attack: An attacker would need to control more than 50% of the network's hash rate to double-spend or rewrite parts of the blockchain. The cost and resource requirement for such an attack make it impractical for a sufficiently large and decentralized network like Dogecoin. 3. Merged Mining: Dogecoin supports merged mining with Litecoin (LTC). This means miners can mine both Dogecoin and Litecoin simultaneously without additional computational effort. This enhances the security of both networks by pooling their hash rates.
Incentive Mechanisms and Applicable Fees
Dogecoin uses a Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism to ensure network security and integrity, relying on economic incentives for miners and transaction fees from users. Here’s an in-depth look at these mechanisms: Incentive Mechanisms 1. Miners: Block Rewards: Miners receive block rewards for successfully mining new blocks. Initially, Dogecoin had a variable block reward, but it now offers a fixed reward of 10,000 DOGE per block. These rewards are a primary incentive for miners to invest in the computational power necessary to secure the network. Transaction Fees: In addition to block rewards, miners also earn transaction fees from the transactions they include in the blocks they mine. Although Dogecoin’s transaction fees are typically low, they still provide an important supplementary income for miners. Merged Mining: Dogecoin supports merged mining with Litecoin, allowing miners to simultaneously mine both cryptocurrencies without additional computational effort. This process increases the hash rate and security of both networks by pooling their resources. 2. Security: Hash Rate and Difficulty: The security of Dogecoin’s network is directly related to its hash rate, the total computational power used by all miners. A higher hash rate makes the network more resistant to attacks. The mining difficulty adjusts periodically to ensure that blocks are mined approximately every minute, maintaining network stability. 51% Attack Deterrence: Controlling more than 50% of the network's hash rate to perform a 51% attack is costly and difficult. The significant computational power and energy required make such attacks impractical for a large and decentralized network like Dogecoin. Fees Applicable on the Dogecoin Blockchain 1. Transaction Fees: Flat Fee Structure: Dogecoin uses a relatively simple fee structure. The typical transaction fee is 1 DOGE per kilobyte of transaction data. This low fee is one of Dogecoin’s appeals, making it suitable for small and micro-transactions. Incentives for Faster Processing: Although transaction fees are generally low, users can choose to pay higher fees to incentivize miners to include their transactions in the next block, ensuring faster processing times. 2. Mining Rewards: Block Subsidy: The fixed block reward of 10,000 DOGE incentivizes miners to continue securing the network. This reward will persist as Dogecoin does not have a maximum supply cap, ensuring continuous incentives for miners. Fee Inclusion: Besides the block subsidy, the inclusion of transaction fees provides an additional, albeit smaller, incentive for miners to process transactions efficiently.

Key energy sources and methodologies
To determine the proportion of renewable energy usage, the locations of the nodes are to be determined using public information sites, open-source crawlers and crawlers developed in-house. If no information is available on the geographic distribution of the nodes, reference networks are used which are comparable in terms of their incentivization structure and consensus mechanism. This geo-information is merged with public information from Our World in Data, see citation. The intensity is calculated as the marginal energy cost wrt. one more transaction.

Energy consumption sources and methodologies
For the calculation of energy consumptions, the so called “top-down” approach is being used, within which an economic calculation of the miners is assumed. Miners are persons or devices that actively participate in the proof-of-work consensus mechanism. The miners are considered to be the central factor for the energy consumption of the network. Hardware is pre-selected based on the consensus mechanism's hash algorithm: Scrypt. A current profitability threshold is determined on the basis of the revenue and cost structure for mining operations. Only Hardware above the profitability threshold is considered for the network. The energy consumption of the network can be determined by taking into account the distribution for the hardware, the efficiency levels for operating the hardware and on-chain information regarding the miners' revenue opportunities. If significant use of merge mining is known, this is taken into account. When calculating the energy consumption, we used - if available - the Functionally Fungible Group Digital Token Identifier (FFG DTI) to determine all implementations of the asset of question in scope and we update the mappings regulary, based on data of the Digital Token Identifier Foundation.
