Dogecoin: Everything you need to know about the cryptocurrency

We're going to the moon. 

The proponents of Dogecoin or DOGE, a cryptocurrency that started as a joke but is now one of the most popular coins around, would have you believe that the sentence above is all you need to know about Dogecoin. 

In a way, they'd be right. Dogecoin does not require a lot of thinking. Fans of the cryptocurrency simply buy it and hodl it (a crypto way of saying "not selling") until...well, until something great happens. Until you become rich, perhaps.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
