After the sudden spike in cryptocurrency this year, news outlets and various traders have been thinking about who might be behind the famous and exceptional Dogecoin with the whale address DH5yaieqoZN36fDVciNyRueRGvGLR3mr7L, which is worth 12 billion dollars. It has mined 36.7 billion Dogecoins since 2019 and has a world demand of dogecoin of around 28%. 

Although it’s fun to speculate that the aforementioned address belongs to a single person who suddenly accrued billions of dollars of the same meme cryptocurrency, Dogecoin. While Patrick Lodder, a dogecoin core creator, said that it more likely seems that the cryptocurrency address resembles some cryptocurrency exchange. 

Dogecoin is a crypto-monetary developed by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, software developers, who wanted to build a payment system like a prank, using wild speculation in cryptocurrencies at the time. Some regard this a valid investment opportunity, despite its humorous existence. 

Dogecoin’s value has dropped significantly in recent days as China has imposed a ban on cryptocurrency trading, which is one of the primary reasons for the drop. Tesla and SpaceX’s CEO Elon Musk, who mostly supports it on his social media pages, was primarily responsible for the development of the spike. 

While it’s no doubt that the story behind this meme cryptocurrency – Dogecoin must be the most interesting one but with the ongoing tweets from Elon Musk, his fans would connect the most to it.
