Abstract

The frenzied public interest in cryptocurrencies has meant that, as second-order capital rushes towards the Bitcoin trade, potential investors are also drawn toward alternative currencies that may serve specific purposes; but one such cryptoasset, Dogecoin, is not so much an alternative numismatic instrument as it is a leisured exploration of community-building around a cryptoasset. This discussion paper recounts the historical evolution of Dogecoin, while also highlighting the crossover of cryptocurrency principles with the leisures of the blockchain.

Keywords: blockchain, cryptocurrency, bitcoin, dogecoin
