探索狗狗币从一个受迷因启发的笑话到一种主要加密货币的 10 年历程，并在庆祝其周年纪念日时创下 52 周新高。

Initially a joke based on a popular internet meme, Dogecoin (DOGE) has surprisingly survived a decade in the competitive crypto market and is now celebrating its 10th anniversary.

最初是一个基于流行互联网迷因的笑话，狗狗币 (DOGE) 令人惊讶地在竞争激烈的加密货币市场中生存了十年，现在正在庆祝其诞生 10 周年。

As Dogecoin marks its anniversary, the cryptocurrency community is experiencing renewed optimism. The coin’s value has risen over 14% in the past 24 hours, reaching a 52-week peak of $0.10 as of Dec. 6.

随着狗狗币迎来周年纪念日，加密货币社区正在经历新的乐观情绪。截至 12 月 6 日，该代币的价值在过去 24 小时内上涨了 14% 以上，达到 0.10 美元的 52 周峰值。

This growth is part of a broader trend seen in the lead-up to the anniversary, showcasing both the coin’s lasting appeal and the speculative nature of cryptocurrency markets.

这种增长是周年纪念日之前的更广泛趋势的一部分，展示了该代币的持久吸引力和加密货币市场的投机性质。

As we commemorate Dogecoin’s 10th anniversary, let’s explore its journey from a meme to a major player in the cryptocurrency world.

在我们纪念狗狗币十周年之际，让我们来探索一下它从一个迷因到加密货币世界主要参与者的历程。

What is Dogecoin and what made it so popular?

什么是狗狗币？是什么让它如此受欢迎？

Dogecoin, conceived in late 2013 as a parody by Adobe Product Marketing Manager Jackson Palmer and software engineer Billy Markus, has evolved into a significant digital currency, boasting a market capitalization exceeding $14 billion as of Dec 6. 

狗狗币是 Adob​​e 产品营销经理 Jackson Palmer 和软件工程师 Billy Markus 于 2013 年底提出的模仿作品，现已发展成为一种重要的数字货币，截至 12 月 6 日市值超过 140 亿美元。

This peer-to-peer digital currency, similar to Bitcoin (BTC), is distinct in its use of the Scrypt algorithm, setting it apart from Bitcoin’s SHA-256 mining requirements. 

这种点对点数字货币与比特币 (BTC) 类似，其独特之处在于使用了 Scrypt 算法，使其有别于比特币的 SHA-256 挖矿要求。

Its unique design features the well-known internet meme of a Japanese Shiba Inu with captions like “much wow” and “such tired.” Originally launched with a cap of 100 billion coins, this limit was later removed, making its supply limitless.

其独特的设计以著名的日本柴犬网络模因为特色，并配上“太棒了”和“太累了”等说明文字。最初发行时的上限为 1000 亿枚，后来取消了这一限制，使其供应量变得无限。

Yet, it quickly captured global attention. Just a month after its launch, the Dogecoin website had over a million visits, indicating an instant, substantial following​​.

然而，它很快引起了全球的关注。狗狗币网站推出仅一个月后，访问量就超过了一百万，表明立即就有大量追随者​​。

In 2014, Dogecoin supporters rallied to support various charitable and sporting causes. They raised $30,000 to send the Jamaican bobsled team to the 2014 Winter Olympics and assisted an Indian luger in participating in the same event. 

2014 年，狗狗币支持者聚集起来支持各种慈善和体育事业。他们筹集了 3 万美元，送牙买加雪橇队参加 2014 年冬季奥运会，并协助印度雪橇队参加同一赛事。

The community also raised funds for the 4 Paws For Ability charity and contributed $50,000 to a clean water project in Kenya. 

该社区还为 4 Paws For Ability 慈善机构筹集了资金，并向肯尼亚的一个清洁水项目捐赠了 50,000 美元。

Since then, Dogecoin has gained traction not only as a comical cryptocurrency but also through community-driven initiatives, further solidifying its presence in the crypto market​.

从那时起，狗狗币不仅作为一种滑稽的加密货币而受到关注，而且通过社区驱动的举措，进一步巩固了其在加密货币市场的地位。

The role of social media and Elon Musk

社交媒体和埃隆·马斯克的作用

Dogecoin’s value has been notably impacted by social media trends and celebrity endorsements. 

狗狗币的价值受到社交媒体趋势和名人认可的显着影响。

In January 2021, a Reddit-driven surge saw Dogecoin’s price increase by over 800% in 24 hours. The coin received further boosts from high-profile figures like Elon Musk, Snoop Dogg, and Gene Simmons​​.

2021 年 1 月，在 Reddit 推动下，狗狗币的价格在 24 小时内上涨了 800% 以上。该代币得到了埃隆·马斯克、史努比狗狗和吉恩·西蒙斯等知名人物的进一步推动。

Musk, in particular, has played a significant role in Dogecoin’s market movements. His tweets and public support have led to significant fluctuations in the coin’s value. 

尤其是马斯克，他在狗狗币的市场走势中发挥了重要作用。他的推文和公众支持导致了代币价值的大幅波动。

For instance, Musk’s tweet in April 2021, referencing Dogecoin, led to a more than 100% increase in its price​​​​. In May 2021, Musk’s SpaceX announced a Dogecoin-funded rideshare mission to the Moon, marking the first space mission funded by a cryptocurrency. 

例如，马斯克在 2021 年 4 月发布的推文提到了狗狗币，导致其价格上涨了 100% 以上​​​​。 2021 年 5 月，马斯克的 SpaceX 宣布了一项由狗狗币资助的月球乘车共享任务，这标志着第一个由加密货币资助的太空任务。

Moreover, in June 2022, Musk expressed his ongoing support for Dogecoin, stating, “I will keep supporting Dogecoin.” 

此外，2022年6月，马斯克表达了对狗狗币的持续支持，表示“我将继续支持狗狗币”。

This statement came amidst Musk facing a lawsuit for $258 billion, where he is accused of running a pyramid scheme to back Dogecoin.

这一声明是在马斯克面临 2580 亿美元诉讼之际发表的，他被指控通过传销来支持狗狗币。

The strong community support and constant endorsement from Musk have led to a surge in DOGE’s popularity over the years, solidifying its acceptance and utility beyond its meme origins​​.

强大的社区支持和马斯克的持续认可，多年来 DOGE 的受欢迎程度大幅上升，巩固了其超越模因起源的接受度和实用性​​。

Amid this, the Dogecoin Foundation has been instrumental in supporting the Dogecoin ecosystem and community. Re-established in August 2021 with notable advisors, including Vitalik Buterin and Jared Birchall (representing Elon Musk), the foundation aims to promote the future of Dogecoin’s blockchain​.

其中，狗狗币基金会在支持狗狗币生态系统和社区方面发挥了重要作用。该基金会于 2021 年 8 月重新成立，由 Vitalik Buterin 和 Jared Birchall（代表埃隆·马斯克）等著名顾问组成，旨在促进狗狗币区块链的未来。

The future of DOGE

DOGE的未来

Dogecoin’s potential in mainstream commerce and online transactions could significantly shape its future. 

狗狗币在主流商业和在线交易中的潜力可能会极大地塑造其未来。

Its appeal lies in lower transaction fees and quicker processing times than many cryptocurrencies, making it suitable for small-scale transactions and regular use. 

它的吸引力在于比许多加密货币更低的交易费用和更快的处理时间，使其适合小规模交易和常规使用。

However, investing in Dogecoin requires caution due to its susceptibility to speculative trading and influence from external factors like celebrity endorsements or social media trends. These influences can result in sudden and unpredictable shifts in its value, presenting risks for investors. 

然而，投资狗狗币需要谨慎，因为它容易受到投机交易以及名人代言或社交媒体趋势等外部因素的影响。这些影响可能会导致其价值突然且不可预测的变化，给投资者带来风险。

Furthermore, the lack of a supply cap introduces additional complexity, as this could lead to inflationary impacts on its value. 

此外，缺乏供应上限会带来额外的复杂性，因为这可能会对其价值产生通货膨胀影响。

As with all digital currencies, DOGE is a highly speculative instrument, and you should never invest more than you can afford to lose.

与所有数字货币一样，DOGE 是一种高度投机的工具，您的投资永远不应该超过您能承受的损失。
