Aron's efforts further contribute to Dogecoin's fame and reputation. Investors like Elon Musk and Mark Cuban ahave lso influenced the meme coin's global recognition. Investors are now wondering if this would create the next big surge for Dogecoin.
To briefly point out, Dogecoin originated as an internet joke and meme coin. However, its massive popularity helped it gain real value on the market, along with a reputation for enormous growth. Previous reports mentioned that Dogecoin has gained 10,000 percent growth over the past year and 130,000 percent growth in the past five years.
Investors are looking out for a similar "surge" happening.
Coin Desk marked Dogecoin trading at $0.21 with a .49 percent upward trend in the last 24 hours at the time of writing. This is a significant improvement compared to the Monday and Tuesday losses.
Analysts from The Motley Fool warned of Dogecoin volatility and further declines. They said Dogecoin's growing popularity has also invited scrutiny from regulators. Dogecoin prices could also be affected by local law enforcement.
Fortunately, Dogecoin has also received good news. Dog value increased after it has been adopted as a payment option for over 1600 merchants. Dogecoin price might be boosted after the poll and Aron and AMC make their conclusion.
