How Was Dogecoin Created?

狗狗幣是如何創建的？

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

狗狗幣是由軟體工程師比利·馬庫斯和傑克森·帕爾默創建的。

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

狗狗幣背後的想法源自於 2013 年底加密貨幣熱潮最鼎盛時期兩人的一次線上對話。

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.

受到以柴犬為主題的流行「Doge」網路迷因的啟發，馬庫斯和帕爾默決定創建一種有趣且可供更廣泛受眾使用的加密貨幣。

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

來自俄勒岡州波特蘭的程式設計師馬庫斯帶頭開發了狗狗幣的技術方面。

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

他使用了另一種名為 Luckycoin 的加密貨幣的現有程式碼庫，該加密貨幣本身是萊特幣（一種成熟的加密貨幣）的分叉。

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

透過修改程式碼並結合狗狗迷因主題，馬庫斯能夠創建狗狗幣的初始版本。

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. 

2013年12月6日，狗狗幣正式對外推出。它的發佈時間恰逢加密貨幣狂熱的頂峰，這有助於引起人們對新硬幣的極大關注和興趣。

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

狗狗幣社群的友好和熱情以及其慈善事業很快就吸引了一群忠實的追隨者。

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

與許多其他加密貨幣不同，狗狗幣的創建目的並不是要成為一項嚴肅的投資或與比特幣競爭。

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.

相反，其創建者的目標是創建一種數位貨幣，為用戶帶來歡樂和笑聲，同時保持去中心化和區塊鏈技術的核心原則。
