Dogecoin, which started as a meme cryptocurrency back in 2013, recorded its highest ever value yet and netizens can’t keep calm.
The virtual currency soared more than 100% to hit an all-time high of $0.298 Friday morning, according to cryptocurrency news and data provider Coin desk.
The boost comes just days after the coin surpassed ten cents in value for the first time, news network CNN reported.
The surge is reportedly credited to the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, who shared a photo of a painting titled ‘Dog Barking at the Moon’ by Spanish artist Joan Miró on April 15.
“Doge barking at the moon”, he wrote, while sharing the picture.
