Dogecoin Mass Adoption
In this regard, DOGE’s CEO and co-founder Daniel Polotsky said recent mass adoption and popularity are the primary reasons for the initiative.
On Feb. 4, Dogecoin’s price rallied 25%, just after Elon Musk, Tesla, and SpaceX founder tweeted an illustration of a rocket lifting to the moon and wrote ‘Doge’ underneath it. A few days later, Musk conducted a survey asking whether Doge will be the future currency of this planet. Interestingly, 71.3% of the 2.40 million poll participants responded with a reply of ‘yes.’
