$BTC Bitcoin (BTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE) are two well-known cryptocurrencies, but they serve different purposes. Bitcoin, the first and largest crypto by market cap, is often seen as "digital gold" and a store of value. Its price moves based on institutional interest, macroeconomic trends, and adoption. Dogecoin, originally a meme coin, gained popularity through social media and celebrity endorsements, especially from Elon Musk. While BTC follows a more structured market cycle, DOGE is highly speculative and reacts to hype. Both experience extreme volatility, with BTC leading market trends and DOGE riding waves of excitement. Their price swings reflect crypto’s unpredictable nature.
