Dogecoin (DOGE), the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has been on a meteoric price upside trend since the beginning of the year. The digital currency created out of meme has been the best performer this year among other top cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), among others.
The notable performance of Dogecoin (DOGE) can be attributed to the incessant meme from the billionaire CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, which has consequently pumped the price of the digital token.

Obviously, Elon Musk’s factor is just one of the reasons behind the significant increase in the price of Dogecoin. Aside from Musk, a lot of public figures, including Mark Cuban, the billionaire owner of the basketball team, Dallas Mavericks.
All these supports in the form of price pumping took Dogecoin (DOGE) from nowhere to occupy the 4th largest position in the crypto market but continues to attract criticisms from those who possibly missed the opportunity to join the bandwagon early.
