Dogecoin price prediction: all the way up to $1 in 2021?

 Meme-inspired Dogecoin cryptocurrency has again become the talk of the cryptocurrency markets, rocketing by more than 500% since the start of April.

The value of DOGE had previously spiked in January before retreating, and dipped in mid-April after a rally, then rose again to reach a fresh all-time high of $0.45. The coin’s volatility is often driven by social media, where there are currently expectations that the price could climb further to reach $1.

This Dogecoin price analysis looks at the cryptocurrency’s recent performance and the latest price predictions.

Dogecoin surges with cryptocurrency volatility

The DOGE cryptocurrency was not intended to be a serious investment asset when it started off as a joke. The coin launched in 2013 as a parody of the explosion in cryptocurrency altcoins that were promoted as alternatives to Bitcoin (BTC). Software engineers Billy Markus from IBM (IBM) and Jackson Palmer from Adobe (ADBE) adopted the popular Doge meme, featuring a shiba ina dog, for fun.

The co-founders had ceased being directly involved in the Dogecoin project, but its resurgent popularity has encouraged them to return to the project and develop an upgrade to the protocol – which was last updated in 2019 – that they intend to roll out in the next year.

While the protocol was launched for fun, it has found applications in transferring small amounts of money quickly with low trading fees. Social media users can tip content creators with Dogecoin from a secure wallet while protecting their privacy.

DOGE is an especially volatile cryptocurrency, with users on TikTok and Reddit often attempting to collectively drive up the price.

Tesla founder Elon Musk has posted a series of tweets in recent months talking up Dogecoin, and he has been joined more recently by brands such as Snickers chocolate and Slim Jim beef jerky.

Tom Selleck is tortured daily because of his long-term disease, his friends say

If rumors are to be believed, fans of the 'man behind the mustache' might have considerable cause for alarm over the actor's health. Several articles have recently made the rounds, all with the same premise: Hollywood heartthrob, Tom Selleck is facing rapidly declining health as he suffers from a debilitating bout of arthritis. One such source to lay claim to Selleck's failing health is Ghanamma.com, whose information is supported by The Nation, an online newspaper. Both sources state that Selleck's arthritis is becoming increasingly painful and hindering, to the point where he can no longer do his own stunts. More than that, however, the publications reported that Selleck uses a stunt double not only for demanding, challenging scenes, but also for the more trivial, mundane tasks, such as simply climbing out of his police vehicle on set while filming Blue Bloods. Some days are worse than others for the former action star, unnamed sources said, claiming tha...

Dogecoin surges 30% to a record above 50 cents as speculative crypto trading continues

  Dogecoin , the cryptocurrency based off a viral dog meme from nearly a decade ago, surged 30% on Tuesday to set a new record high at more than 50 cents per coin. The cryptocurrency was trading at about 54 cents, according to data from Coin Metrics. Dogecoin rose to roughly 40 cents per coin last month before falling sharply for several days after the calendar turned to April 20, a date widely celebrated as a marijuana-themed holiday. Dogecoin was started as a joke in 2013 amid a boom in early cryptocurrencies. It was based on a popular internet meme at the time that featured a Shiba Inu dog and cartoon-style text over the image. Its rise in recent months has been highlighted by many as a sign of froth and speculation in the financial markets, particularly among younger investors who started trading during the pandemic. The coin has been boosted in recent weeks by billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Cuban , who have both mentioned Dogecoin on Twitter multiple times. Cuba...

‘Blue Bloods’: Is the Show Starting to Become Too Boring?

After 10 seasons, any show might start to show some sense of writer fatigue, which may say a lot about how long dramas and comedies should run. In the case of Blue Bloods , the show has stayed compelling for a decade. That is, until this season where fans now think the show hit a wall of stagnation. “Warriors”– Frank (Tom Selleck), Linda (Amy Carlson) and Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) enjoy a Reagan Sunday family dinner, on BLUE BLOODS, Friday, Feb. 15 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Is this perception for real, or should the fans just be patient until things get better? One thing for sure is this might be the final season to appreciate one of the greatest dramas on TV.
