The cryptocurrency was inspired by the popular doge meme that featured an image of a Shibu Inu dog. The satirical nature of dogecoin was initially meant to poke fun at Bitcoin but evolved to serve as a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency used for tipping on social media platforms. 

Dogecoin’s circulating supply currently exceeds 131 billion. The total supply is uncapped, meaning there is no limit to the amount that can be mined.
