]

狗狗幣（Dogecoin）價格近日如坐火箭，香港也有不少投資者議論。Dogecoin現時最大玩家現持有Dogecoin 28.39%流通量，網民分析該名最大玩家的交易數據，發現不少交易活動都具有Tesla （美：TSLA）創辦人馬斯克（Elon Musk）的「生日密碼」，令外界懷疑多次高調吹捧的馬斯克，正是該名Dogecoin最大玩家。馬斯克暫時未有回應報道。

馬斯克周五（7日）就在社交媒體Twitter再發文評論Dogecoin，貼上「馬斯克說Dogecoin可以是加密貨幣的未來」影片連結，附上帖文稱：

加密貨幣前途光明，但請切記審慎投資（Cryptocurrency is promising， but please invest with caution！）

Elon Musk is a rallying point for dogecoin holders on sites like Reddit, and his coming appearance on ‘SNL’ is a hotly anticipated moment inside and outside crypto markets, which had previously centered on bitcoin and Ethereum, the two largest cryptos in the world. See full story.

Tech mogul Elon Musk is hosting “Saturday Night Live” on Saturday, May 8, and Dogecoin cryptocurrency traders will host watch parties for what could be a “market-moving event,” according to a report by Bloomberg.

Musk, who has branded himself as “The Dogefather” on Twitter, is a huge fan of Dogecoin and frequently tweets about it, which consistently spikes the price. New Jersey-based trader Ramy Bekhiet said it wouldn’t be a surprise if Dogecoin’s price soars up to 90 cents over Musk’s “SNL” appearance, Bloomberg reported.

The cryptocurrency was originally created as a parody, and its most recent spike within the past week was 95.76%, according to real-time data tracked by CoinMarketCap (Market capitalization is constantly changing). One Dogecoin is currently worth $0.63, compared to $0.50 just last month.

How to buy Dogecoin

You can purchase Dogecoin from places like Binance and Kraken.

Coinbase — among the most popular places to trade cryptocurrency — does not support Dogecoin, but you can add it to you cryptocurrency wishlist. If you sign up for Coinbase, you receive $5 worth of Bitcoin for free upon verification of ID.

Dogecoin was created in 2013 by Adobe employee Jackson Palmer and software engineer Billy Markus, according to a report by CoinDesk. It’s a play on the popular internet meme of a Japanese Shiba Inu branded as “doge.” Its non-serious vibe caused it to become a hit and attract a huge following.

What is cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency is a digital asset designed to be used over the internet, according to Coinbase. It’s decentralized, meaning it isn’t controlled by the government or any other central authority such as a bank.

If you want to educate yourself more on cryptocurrency and how it works, you can always enroll in an online course, too. Courses are offered at online platforms Coursera, LinkedIn Learning and Udemy.
