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

By

 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. Cuban has said the increased interest and use in Dogecoin has made it more than a joke.

“Meme coins like Doge only work if they gain utility and users use them for that utility. As long as you can spend Doge, because we know it’s annual inflation rate is set at 5b coins, it can gain SOME value as the utility grows. It becomes like any other currency,” Cuban said Sunday on Twitter.

“As long as more companies take doge for products/services, then Doge can be a usable currency because it MAY hold its purchasing value better than a $ in your bank. If interest rates skyrocket or the amount spent falls or stagnates, so will Doge. Yes, a joke is now legit,” he added.

Another crypto asset that set a new high on Tuesday was Ether, the currency linked to the Etherum blockchain. Bitcoin, however, slipped more than 6%.

By
  Their bond is incredible! Even most of us might think that dogs and cats do not get along pretty well, watching the adorable video bellow will definitely change the way we see these things. Because, when it comes to care for those in need, apparently a dog’s kindness is endless. While we have been witnessed to countless acts of kindness between dogs and cats, ever time a brand new of such a heartwarming footage air, steals out hearts. This time is a gentle Golden Retriever and a stray kitten he saved, that won everyone’s heart. The lovely dog went out with his owner, just outside of a city, when he came upon a struggling kitten. Instead of ignore him or let him be, the caring dog grabbed the helpless creature with his mouth and carried him to his owner, who was waiting him at the car. Naturally, the dog’s owner searched for the little cat’s family, but since there was no sign of them and judging by the kitten’s precarious condition it was clearly he’s a stray kitten.
