$BTC BTC & Dogecoin: From Serious to Silly 🐶💸
Bitcoin (BTC), launched in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto, pioneered decentralized digital currency, aiming to be "digital gold" with a 21M coin cap. 📈 Dogecoin (DOGE), created in 2013 by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, was a playful jab at crypto hype, inspired by the Shiba Inu "Doge" meme. 🐕 Forked from Litecoin (itself a BTC fork), DOGE uses Scrypt for faster, low-cost transactions (1-min blocks vs. BTC’s 10). Unlike BTC’s scarcity, DOGE’s unlimited supply (10,000 coins mined/min) makes it inflationary, ideal for tipping and microtransactions. 💰 While BTC revolutionized finance, DOGE’s lighthearted community raised funds for causes like the Jamaican bobsled team. Both thrive on community but serve different vibes! 🌍
