Elon Musk, a strong advocate for Dogecoin

Dogecoin is not the most popular of cryptocurrencies. However, this crypto is now global because of one man, Elon Musk. Dogecoin started off as a joke but right now, it is a serious deal. Over the past few months, Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, has been an advocate for Dogecoin. After a series of tweets from Musk, Dogecoin began to show its edge and now, we can not underestimate its growth rate. According to CoinMarketCap, Dogecoin has risen by over 400% this year and its total market value exceeds $50 billion. 

In a single month, Elon Musk had about 8 posts about Dogecoin on social platforms. One of his posts imitates “The Lion King” raising a dog. The post also reads … “Dogecoin is everyone’s digital currency …You don’t need to be a super boss…There are no highs, no lows, only dogs”. This tweet was one of the social media posts that caused the virtual currency to skyrocket all the way. In fact, within a week of madness, it hit 500%, the highest intraday increase hit 1000%.

Whether or not Elon Musk knows more about Dogecoin remains to be seen. However, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission believes that Musk knows more about Dogecoin. According to the commission, it will investigate Tesla CEO’s tweets about “Dogecoin”. Musk responded to the news and said: “I hope they will investigate, it would be great.”
