Dogecoin (code: DOGE, symbol: Ð and D) is a cryptocurrency featuring a Shiba Inu from the "Doge" Internet meme on its logo. It was launched (to the moon!) on December 8, 2013.
Dogecoin has quickly risen to popularity due to it's unique standing as a cryptocurrency coin that has a community focused on doing good and contributing to charities with Dogecoin. Continuing the storyline of the classic 1993 comedy movie Cool Runnings, The Dogesled fund raised almost $25,000 in 12 hours to send the Jamaican bobsled team to the 2014 olympics in Sochi, Japan. This brought immediate and positive international media attention to the Dogecoin which continues community driven charitable events, such as raising over 40,000,000 Dogecoins to sponsor clean water projects in Kenya in March, 2014. In April, 2014, the Dogecoin community raised fund to sponsor the #98 NASCAR car driven by Josh Wise at Talladega, FL. New charities and community fundraising events are constantly coming to fruition with Dogecoin.
The currency has gained wide acceptance as an Internet tipping system, in which social media users grant Dogecoin tips to other users for providing interesting or noteworthy content.

Dogecoin's initial coin production schedule will be approximately 100 billion coins in circulation by the end of 2014 with 5.2 billion coins every year thereafter. By March 1st, 2014, over 50 billion Dogecoins have been mined. Many new commercial applications for Dogecoin have emerged since it's launch.
