The beginning of the currency's strong rally was in February, after the American billionaire Elon Musk, on Twitter, expressed his support for it.
It is worth noting that Musk’s relationship with the coin "Dogecoin" began some time ago. In a report for the Independent newspaper that shed light on Musk’s relationship with the designer of the coin, the report indicated that the coin designer (software engineer Jackson Palmer) was helping Musk solve technical problems related to his accounts on Twitter platform.
Months after the private correspondence that Elon Musk and Jackson Palmer exchanged on Twitter, the tech billionaire (Musk) posted a mock news article about "the crazy dream of internet money (i.e. digital money)", along with the "m" with the text "Doug" captioned. Quinn is winning. "
In a "Questions and Answers" dialogue recently posted on the Clubhouse app, Musk revealed that he even has "memes dealers" to create and coordinate material for him for him to post on the Internet.
Musk also spoke during this conversation about "Dogecoin" in a way that evokes the ideas and intentions of the First Mir, related to this cryptocurrency.
In that context, Musk said, "I make a joking comment from time to time about" Dog Queen, "but these comments are nothing more than a joke."
Musk then waited a bit before adding, "Except that destiny likes irony. The funnest outcome is often the most likely. So, arguably, the most fun and the most cynical, may be that the" Dogecoin "becomes our world's currency in the future.
