Dogecoin Is Not the Next Bitcoin – But Here Are the Similarities
To those of us who have been in the industry for a long time, Dogecoin has always been an oddity: A project that has exceptional approachability and appeal to new users while lacking most of the characteristics that make cryptocurrencies useful or valuable. Created in 2013 by Jackson Palmer and Billy Markus, the project was abandoned years ago by its founders and developers, if not its fans. Until recently, it was in such a weak state that it couldn’t even power its own blockchain infrastructure and in 2014 hitched its…

Mix of Old, Wrong and Dubious ‘News’ Scares Rookie Investors, Fuels Crypto Selloff
Call it the recipe for perfect market meltdown: Take a dubious tweet about an unconfirmed U.S. investigation of financial institutions using crypto to launder money, a report that doesn’t appear to have come from Bloomberg, Dow Jones, Reuters or any other reputable news service. Take that tweet and sprinkle it throughout the cryptoverse. Shake vigorously. Add a new CNBC tweet about a month-old Reuters report regarding a coming crypto ban in India.
