Dogecoin’s providence is quite linked to Elon Musk’s tweets. When Musk tweeted about it last year, the cryptocurrency to its stand in the crypto market. When Musk reduced the number of times he tweeted the cryptocurrency, its value decreased. 

The coin has seemed to pick its form since Elon Musk’s tweet. As at the time this article is being written it has increased by 11%. That is an incredible landmark for the coin that lost value some days ago. 

Tesla has been open to receiving payments through Bitcoin, another superior cryptocurrency, but tweeted about Dogecoin more. The company complained about receiving payments through Bitcoin, quoting environmental factors, but still accepted the coin. 

Late last year, so many coins dipped including Bitcoin and Dogecoin. They went downwards and even with Dogecoin’s very low value, Elon Musk has still accepted Dogecoin as a means of payment.
