Growth[]
Dogecoin has had aggresive growth from the very beginning, even making it the most valuable crytopcurrency at one stage, vaulting over Bitcoin (BTC) for a very short time. The trend of Dogecoin is unorthodox. An initial speculative price increase pushed the overall market value of the coin to 2.8 trillion Dollars, however it quickly fell back to a more stable price. Despite the inevitable fall of value, use of Dogecoin has been growing considerably. People have seen the true value of this charming coin, with users investing large sums of fiat money to invest in the coin. December 18, 2013 marked the start of trading in Dogecoin at a major exchange, namely Cryptsy, followed by Vircurex the next day.
