When was Dogecoin created?

Dogecoin was created on December 6, 2013. This was the date when the Dogecoin network was officially launched, marking the beginning of its journey as a cryptocurrency. The creation of Dogecoin was a collaborative effort between software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, who sought to create a fun and accessible digital currency inspired by the popular "Doge" meme featuring a Shiba Inu dog.

Since its launch in 2013, Dogecoin has gained popularity and recognition both as a digital currency and as a cultural phenomenon. Despite its origins as a joke or meme coin, Dogecoin has developed a dedicated community of enthusiasts and has been used for various charitable initiatives, social tipping, and community-driven projects.
