Why Dogecoin Is Up 20%

]

Bloomberg

(Bloomberg) – Bitcoin neared an all-time high on Monday as bullish sentiment gathered steam ahead of a listing by the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange.The token rose as much as 2.6% to $61,229, the highest in nearly a month, before falling back to trade little changed. On March 13, Bitcoin reached a record of $61,742. The cryptocurrency is up almost ninefold in the past year, a return that towers above that of more familiar assets like equities or bullion.Against the backdrop of Wall Street’s growing embrace of crypto, the direct listing of digital-token exchange Coinbase Global Inc. is fanning interest. Coinbase is due to go public on the Nasdaq on April 14, the first listing of its kind for a major cryptocurrency company and a test of investor appetite for other start-ups in the sector.Meanwhile, exchange tokens, such as Binance Coin, are seeing their value rise ahead of Coinbase’s public debut as well. Binance’s, known as BNB, rose 23% Monday, according to CoinMarketCap.com. Huobi Token and KuCoin Token, among others, also gained.“A crypto company moving to IPO is a big milestone,” said Nick Jones, CEO and co-founder at cryptocurrency wallet Zumo. “It’s moves like this that make consumers feel safer with crypto and ultimately boost confidence in the space.”A growing list of companies are looking at or even investing in Bitcoin, drawn by client demand, price momentum and arguments that it can hedge risks such as faster inflation. Tesla Inc. earlier this year disclosed a $1.5 billion investment in Bitcoin and more recently started accepting it as payment for electric cars.Elsewhere, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has said it’s close to offering investment vehicles for Bitcoin and other digital assets to private wealth clients. Morgan Stanley plans to give rich clients access to three funds that will enable crypto ownership. The deck of exchange-traded funds tracking the token is expanding, while Paypal Inc. and Visa Inc. have begun using cryptocurrencies as part of the payments process.A study by Dutch asset manager Robeco suggests that despite its high volatility, a 1% allocation to Bitcoin in a diversified multi-asset portfolio could be beneficial given its resemblance to gold and its near zero correlation to other asset classes.“In recent months, a clear and emphatic narrative that Bitcoin is becoming a store of value in the form of digital gold has developed,” according to Jeroen Blokland, a portfolio manager at Robeco.Other cryptocurrencies, such as second-ranked Ether, have also been climbing. The overall value of more than 6,600 coins tracked by CoinGecko recently surpassed $2 trillion.(Adds paragraph about exchange tokens)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

Los Angeles, CA, April 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – KRONOS ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (OTC MARKETS: KNOS) (“KNOS” or the “Company”), a product development and production company that has significantly changed the way indoor air is moved, filtered and sterilized today announced that last month it completed an exchange with the Dogecoin Cash Foundation of its entire holdings in First Bitcoin (Crypto: BIT) for 600,000,000 Dogecoin Cash (Crypto: DOG).

This enables KNOS to participate in its recently formed DogeSPAC at a greater rate than the 20% already earned as the SPAC’s sponsor.

“With the growing excitement around Dogecoin Cash, Kronos aggressively accepting Dogecoin as payment, and our popular limited edition air purifier rebranded as AirDOGE, we felt that swapping into Dogecoin Cash was a natural fit,” stated company President, Michael Rubinov.

About Dogecoin Cash

Dogecoin Cash was created as a non-inflationary complement to the original Dogecoin, utilizing several important advancements in crypto since the introduction of DOGE in 2013, including:

Proof of Content

Instead of the carbon-emitting Proof of Work mining used by coins like Bitcoin and Dogecoin, Dogecoin Cash uses the innovative new Proof of Content mechanism to distribute DOG to the community. Under the Proof of Content system, content creators can earn Dogecoin Cash by sharing links on the social platform Tipestry, where members vote to determine how much crypto each post and comment receives. Rather than encouraging energy consumption, this new system rewards people for creating and sharing content.

Proof of Work mining currently uses as much power as some entire countries including Greece and Argentina. According to a recent report published by Bank of America, “We believe ESG-minded [environmental, social, and governance] investors have to pay attention to the enormous environmental costs of Bitcoin.”

DeFi

Designed to operate within the decentralized finance ecosystem, Dogecoin Cash exists on both the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token, and on Binance Smart Chain in the BEP-20 format. It is currently tradeable on decentralized exchanges including Uniswap on Ethereum and PancakeSwap on Binance Smart Chain. Holders can also stake their Dogecoin Cash via smart contract at stake.dog, store their tokens in a wide selection of Ethereum and Biance Smart Chain wallets, and exchange them for other assets such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Should You Invest in Dogecoin?

This year has brought newfound attention to Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency created in 2013 with a market capitalization of around $9 billion – good enough for a spot among the top 20 largest digital currencies in the world.

Although the Dogecoin price is only around 7 cents, the crypto, whose symbol is “DOGE” on exchanges, is nonetheless up around 1,400% so far in 2021. Pronounced “dohj coin,” the virtual currency has exploded onto the scene this year, with a handful of celebrity fans, including Tesla (ticker: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk, hyping it on the way to new all-time highs.

So, what’s the DOGE appeal? Should you invest in Dogecoin? Putting the cryptocurrency in context by looking at its history, comparing it to rivals and examining its improbable rise should help answer that question.

2021: Year of the Meme

“Dogecoin has been an interesting development for traders,” says Julian Hosp, CEO and co-founder of Cake DeFi, a decentralized finance service letting users loan out cryptocurrency to generate yields. “It’s funny when you think about the fact that Dogecoin was initially created as a joke based off a meme,” Hosp says.

That’s right. Dogecoin’s mascot is a shiba inu dog that became an internet meme in 2013. Unlike Bitcoin, it’s not really in the conversation for being a good store of value, either: Currently, there are more than 129 billion DOGE in existence. There are less than 19 million Bitcoin around, and only 21 million that can ever exist. There’s no cap on the maximum number of Dogecoin units, and billions more are created each year.

That’s some serious dilution.

That massive supply should help explain how a coin trading for roughly 30 times its price a year ago and more than 10 times its price at the beginning of the year could still only be worth about 7 cents.

Of course, it makes sense that a silly token would take off in 2021 – a year in which so-called “meme stocks” like GameStop (GME), AMC Entertainment (AMC) and Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) soared on the heels of Reddit-induced hype.

“It really goes to show the power and influence of social media and the ‘meme community’ as a legitimate driving force behind the currency’s adoption and enduring popularity,” Hosp says.

All three of the meme stocks above – GME, AMC and BBBY – are now well below the highs set in the speculative mania that gripped markets in late January and early February.

Investing in Dogecoin is easy; anyone with some spare change and a Robinhood account can participate in the phenomenon. But should you buy Dogecoin? That’s a different story.

Trying to Value DOGE

For George Chrysochou, investor and global marketing manager for Financer.com, there are more red flags than DOGE’s meme status alone.

“The project is community-driven since its inception and never received institutional adoption,” Chrysochou says. “It has no official road map nor a white paper. Its founder and leading developers ceased working on the project in 2015, and on several occasions, mentioned that they believe it’s overpriced.”

“Without a proper team, technological development and road map, Dogecoin will likely not be a reliable investment in 2021,” Chrysochou says.

Those are important qualitative factors to consider. And with cryptocurrencies, which don’t have the benefit of earnings expectations or dividend yields, qualitative factors are important. But there are some quantitative ways of estimating a currency’s fair price, including looking at how it’s been historically valued in comparison to other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

The DOGE vs. BTC comparison is best done by pricing the currency in microunits of Bitcoin called satoshis, or sats, which represent a hundred millionth of a Bitcoin.

Chrysochou notes that Dogecoin’s peak value by this metric was in 2014, hitting 272 sats.

“In the 2017 peak, it hit 155 sats. And in 2021, it hit 200 sats, before correcting to approximately 100 sats,” Chrysochou says. “In the most optimistic scenario for this bull cycle, Bitcoin reaches $300,000 and DOGE reaches the 300 sats mark, which is approximately 90 cents.” Dogecoin, worth around 7 cents today, would still have to more than double in value relative to Bitcoin to reach the 90 cent mark. It’s worth about 118 satoshis today.

Proceed With Caution

So, is Dogecoin a good investment?

“As much as we like the attention and growth that these moments bring, we also need to be careful to educate new users on assets' risks with little to no value or utility. There are over 15,000 projects in crypto,” says Alex Mashinsky, CEO of Celsius Network.

“If you have found yourself interested in cryptocurrency because of Dogecoin, I urge you to keep going because beyond the hype, there is a real revolution happening that demands more attention,” Mashinsky says.
