Doge Coin
Yesterday was weird.
I have been oblivious to the whole stock market and Reddit fiasco. I think it’s kind of funny actually. I feel bad for the stock brokers that literally lost billions of dollars, but also, I don’t.
One of the most interesting things out of this wasn’t the fact that Robinhood, and other markets, prevented the purchase and sell of Game Stop, AMC, and others. But that Doge Coin, of all things in this world, is going up exponentially.
For those unfamiliar, Doge Coin is a meme (or parody) cryptocurrency that was created around the time Bitcoin started to get popular. For years it hovered around $.002. At the time of writing, it has been hovering around $0.04 – which is impressive. Yesterday it peaked around $0.08. For shits and giggles, I threw in $50 to see what would happen. Because really – what do I have to lose? I bought it at $0.023991. It peaked around $0.08 and I made $100. I was giggling, for sure.
Today, however? I’m back down to $86 total. I’ll probably keep it in for a few more days and see if it spikes again. But good Lord. Reddit is getting out of control.
