Why it matters
Dogecoin started in 2013 as a joke built on Litecoin's codebase and became the reference meme asset. It uses proof-of-work with a fixed annual issuance rather than a hard supply cap, which makes it mildly inflationary by design. Its relevance comes from liquidity, brand recognition and merchant tipping culture rather than from technical differentiation.
