On January 11, 2024, Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, reiterated his steadfast backing of Dogecoin, a community-driven memecoin.
In a Twitter Space event, Musk disclosed that he has not liquidated any of his DOGE holdings. The influence of Musk has historically played a significant role in shaping the price dynamics of Dogecoin.
Despite Musk’s recent declaration, the price of DOGE has shown minimal response, currently trading at $0.080, reflecting a marginal 0.3% decrease from the previous day.
Dogecoin experienced notable milestones in December, reaching 5 million addresses with a balance and witnessing a substantial increase in transactions.
While this heightened activity initially contributed to a surge in price, a more recent correction has resulted in just over half of Dogecoin holders currently holding positions at a profit, reminiscent of levels seen in early November ’23.

The query received a series of affirmative responses from the community.
Bitcoin = Gold
Dogecoin = Cash
Bitcoin is more scarce, but Dogecoin is a much more practical method of payment.
