Dogecoin has no maximum supply, and 5 billion new coins are created each year. This inflationary model distinguishes Dogecoin from cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which have a hard supply limit (21 million coins). The idea is to encourage the use of Dogecoin for everyday transactions, as it doesn’t encourage hoarding due to its endless supply.

1. December 6, 2013: Dogecoin is officially launched as a "joke" cryptocurrency by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer.  

2. January 2014: The Dogecoin community raises $30,000 to send the Jamaican bobsled team to the Winter Olympics.

3. March 2014: The community raises $55,000 in Dogecoin to sponsor NASCAR driver Josh Wise.

4. December 2017: Dogecoin surpasses a $1 billion market cap for the first time during the 2017 cryptocurrency boom.

Dogecoin becomes the center of attention in the cryptocurrency space, reaching an all-time high of $0.73 after a surge driven by social media and celebrity endorsements.

Dogecoin started as a meme, but over time its vision has become clearer as its community has grown. Some of the core ideals behind Dogecoin include:

Dogecoin seeks to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone, contrasting the often technical and complex nature of other cryptocurrencies. Its friendly branding and fun nature help attract newcomers to the world of digital assets.

Philanthropy and Good Causes**: Dogecoin's community has been historically involved in charitable activities. This aspect of the Dogecoin culture is a central part of its vision, emphasizing that cryptocurrency can be a force for good.

Dogecoin continues to be a highly speculative asset, but it has proven to be more than just a joke, building a loyal and passionate community with a vision for widespread adoption of cryptocurrency for small, everyday transactions.
