Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and founder of SpaceX, has sanctioned a ridiculous idea of creating a hot tub that will be heated through Dogecoin (DOGE) mining.
The new use case suggestion for Dogecoin (DOGE) came from the official Twitter handle of the leading crypto portfolio tracker, Blockfolio.

Since the billionaire CEO of Tesla is already leading Dogecoin’s development after accepting DOGE for a satellite mission, it could simply be assumed that another project is underway.
Dogecoin (DOGE) adopts the proof of work (PoW) consensus algorithm like the flagship cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC), which implies that it requires computing resources to mine new coins.
Although the digital currency is regarded as a joke, its miners are making whopping money on a daily basis, with their revenue surging to over 4,500 percent in 2021 due to growing transaction fees, according to ByteTree data.

Dogecoin (DOGE) does not consume energy as much as Bitcoin (BTC) because it’s a scrypt-based cryptocurrency. Due to its dual mining model, it can only be mined together with other coins like Litecoin (LTC).
Dogecoin (DOGE) and Other Cryptocurrencies in the Market
It’s obvious that the crypto market is still struggling to maintain its balance since the devastating price crash that affected all the cryptocurrencies in the market, including Dogecoin (DOGE), Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum (ETH).
Whether the market is set for this year’s second phase of price bull run is uncertain, considering the increased selloff rate.
