There have been many tokens that have come and gone rapidly in the past nine years. There is 1 Dogecoin = 1 Dogecoin and only one Dogecoin that has its own Blockchain and is not directly associated with any token. Beware of scammers.

The popular dog meme token was launched as a prank in 2013 by developers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, who were trying to draw attention to almost cult cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. However, in a way that both developers never expected; The product of a few minor tweaks to the Bitcoin code, this prank garnered a lot of attention and success in the community. In recent years, the token has received support from billionaires Mark Cuban and Elon Musk. Musk argued that DOGE is better for transactions than Bitcoin.
DOGE-inspired cryptocurrencies and fakes
As a result of this success, several Dogecoin-inspired tokens were created. Unfortunately, many are also scams that rely on Dogecoin’s popularity to lure investors. The latest in this category is DogeMother, a scam that freezes investor assets and prevents them from withdrawing after purchasing. Meanwhile, there have been other DOGE-inspired tokens that have taken the market by storm and have made remarkable strides. For example, the Shiba Inu debuted in 2021. It quickly became the most popular cryptocurrency despite continuing to follow Dogecoin by market cap.
