Dogecoin 101

Dogecoin (pronounced like “dohj-coin”) was created in 2013 by Jackson Palmer and Billy Markus, software developers who created the cryptocurrency as a way to poke fun at the cryptocurrency industry. Although Palmer left the project in 2015 due to its “toxic community”, the Dogecoin community still has a loyal fanbase in 2021.

What can you do with Dogecoin?

Dogecoin functions much like Bitcoin—a decentralized cryptocurrency payments network that’s useful for peer-to-peer transactions. In fact, Dogecoin is based off Litecoin, which is itself based off Bitcoin.

Because it’s so lightweight, you might find some sites (like Twitch) that accept DOGE as a way to tip creators.

Some crypto-friendly companies (like gaming sites or VPN services) accept Dogecoin, too. And there are a handful of retailers outside the internet world who accept it as payment. Because it’s so hyped, a few brands have joked (we think?) about supporting Dogecoin one day.

Is Dogecoin a smart investment?

Crypto carries risks — but generally speaking, our advice (regardless of whether you’re investing in Dogecoin or stocks) is: never invest what you can’t afford to lose. The smartest way to grow your money long term is with a diversified, low-cost portfolio that tracks the market.

How we keep your Dogecoin safe

As Canada’s first regulated crypto trading platform, we’re required to meet certain requirements — like using only qualified custodians (like Coinbase Custody) for cold storage.

FYI: Wealthsimple Crypto is not an exchange itself. Instead, we work with multiple exchanges to give you the best Dogecoin prices.

And to make sure your coins are extra protected, we’ve partnered with Coincover for an extra layer of security.

If you’re holding crypto outside of Wealthsimple, that’s no problem. You can safely transfer your Dogecoin to your Wealthsimple account in just a few taps.
