Dogecoin (DOGE) started as a joke online.  The price of DOGE went up over 11,000% in value. However, there is no inherent value for the Dogecoin.  It is likely to fall flat in the future unless they come up with some real utility for DogeCoin.

Elon Musk did influence Dogecoin for good and bad.  His influence had the price go up to the extent that investors knew that the price is disproportionate to the value it actually can be assessed for.

Elon Musk and Mark Cuban have both been making tweets supporting the meme-inspired cryptocurrency, which led to the massive wild surge of the DogeCoin. Ultimately, it got labeled as a speculative bubble.

Irrespective of whether DOGE is here to stay or not, there is no disagreement about Doge having outperformed other cryptos.

Reportedly, a mysterious whale is the world’s largest Dogecoin holder with 36.7 billion coins worth $15 billion.  The mysterious whale holds nearly 36.7 billion Dogecoins.  This accounts for almost 28% of total Dogecoins. And there is no clarity about who owns this account.

Dogecoin hit $0.29, and Prolific became a paper millionaire. By April 16, 2021, in part to more Elon Musk and Mark Cuban tweets about Doge, the coin touched a market value of >$48 billion.

The price of Dogecoin, after all the drama, is plummeting. For thoughts about getting rich with DOGE, the arguments for Bitcoin-related scarcity will not apply to Dogecoin.  There are countless alternative cryptocurrencies to choose from; unless new use cases are derived, the probability is less for someone to get rich gambling on Dogecoin.

Dogecoin supporters and investors considering several price forecasts state that Dogecoin will be worth between $5 and $30 in the next ten years. However, the fundamentals that support this expectation are not clear.

Novogratz commenting on it, stated, “I worry that, once the enthusiasm rolls out, there are no developers on it, no institutions are coming in. But it’s got this moniker of the people’s coin right now. So it’s a little bit of a middle finger to the system. I think it’s dangerous because once that enthusiasm dies, it dies; you could have a long way down. But I don’t want to discredit.”

DOGE does not have any fundamental scarcity built into it.  This coin was created targeting light-minded silly folks.  It was not meant for serious financial guys. There is no continual technical development. The basic instinct of love for dogs fueled the formation of this crypto. The ecosystem is not well-funded.
