How Was Dogecoin Created?

Dogecoin was created by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer.

The idea behind Dogecoin emerged from an online conversation between the two in late 2013, during the height of the cryptocurrency boom. 

Dogecoin에 대한 아이디어는 암호화폐 붐이 한창이던 2013년 말 두 사람 사이의 온라인 대화에서 나왔습니다.

Inspired by the popular “Doge” internet meme featuring a Shiba Inu dog, Markus and Palmer decided to create a cryptocurrency that would be fun and accessible to a wider audience.

Markus, a programmer from Portland, Oregon, took the lead in developing the technical aspects of Dogecoin. 

오리건 주 포틀랜드 출신의 프로그래머 Markus는 Dogecoin의 기술적 측면 개발을 주도했습니다.

He used the existing codebase of another cryptocurrency called Luckycoin, which itself was a fork of Litecoin, a well-established cryptocurrency. 

그는 이미 잘 알려진 암호화폐인 라이트코인의 포크인 Luckycoin이라는 또 다른 암호화폐의 기존 코드베이스를 사용했습니다.

By modifying the code and incorporating the Doge meme theme, Markus was able to create the initial version of Dogecoin.

On December 6, 2013, Dogecoin was officially launched to the public. The timing of its release coincided with the peak of the cryptocurrency frenzy, which helped generate significant attention and interest in the new coin. 

The friendly and welcoming nature of the Dogecoin community, along with its philanthropic endeavors, quickly attracted a dedicated following.

Unlike many other cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin was not created with the intention of being a serious investment or a rival to Bitcoin. 

Instead, its creators aimed to create a digital currency that would bring joy and laughter to its users while maintaining the core principles of decentralization and blockchain technology.

Elon Musk’s Support of Dogecoin

Musk has become a prominent figure in the world of cryptocurrency, particularly when it comes to meme coins. 

머스크는 암호화폐 세계, 특히 밈 코인과 관련하여 저명한 인물이 되었습니다.

His tweets and public statements have wielded significant influence over the market, often leading to dramatic price fluctuations and capturing the attention of crypto enthusiasts worldwide.

그의 트윗과 공개 성명은 시장에 상당한 영향력을 행사했으며 종종 가격 변동을 극적으로 일으키고 전 세계 암호화폐 애호가들의 관심을 끌었습니다.

Musk’s connection with meme coins can be traced back to his fondness for Dogecoin.

The billionaire has previously endorsed Dogecoin in numerous tweets, which has consistently sparked excitement and speculation among traders.

His endorsement of the cryptocurrency has even led to the creation of other meme coins inspired by his persona.

암호화폐에 대한 그의 지지로 인해 그의 페르소나에서 영감을 받은 다른 밈 코인이 탄생하기도 했습니다.

Notably, the billionaire has even been sued for $258 billion for influencing the price of Dogecoin with his tweets.

Filed by plaintiff Keith Johnson in New York in June last year, the lawsuit accuses Musk and his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, of running a “pyramid scheme” to inflate the price of the meme coin.

원고 키스 존슨이 지난해 6월 뉴욕에서 제기한 소송은 머스크와 그의 회사인 테슬라, 스페이스X가 밈 코인의 가격을 부풀리기 위해 '피라미드 계획'을 운영하고 있다고 비난한다.
