Inspired by the “Doge” meme that was spreading across the internet at the time, they created Dogecoin as a joke (in their own words). Little did they know it would become one of the most valuable cryptocurrencies on Earth in 2021, reaching a peak valuation of around $90 billion. But it spiraled from there and lost more than 90% of its value by mid-2022. Unfortunately, Dogecoin has almost no real-world utility, and speculative frenzies never last. So it simply couldn’t…

The “Bitcoin Cycle” investment thesis…
