Cameron Winklevoss, the Co-Founder of the Gemini Exchange, has likened the recent popularity of Dogecoin and its rally to new all-time highs, as a protest.
According to Mr. Winklevoss, people are tired of the modern money monopoly that does not provide the financial freedom that should exist. Mr. Winkelvoss’s comments on the Dogecoin (DOGE) phenomenon can be found below.

“DOGE is a protest. People are tired of the modern money monopoly. They’re tired of being told what money is and what they are allowed to do with it. Let the people decide for themselves.”

Dogecoin (DOGE) Pumps Over 1000%
Mr. Winkelvoss’s comments came after Dogecoin (DOGE) experienced a massive pump that has its genesis from the WallStreetBets community banding together in an attempt to push it to $1. The mission to pump Dogecoin gained traction courtesy of the following tweet from a parody account of the WallStreetBets chairman.
Has Doge ever been to a dollar?

Before the pump on 28th January 2021, Dogecoin was valued at $0.007. Approximately 24 hours later, Dogecoin had set a new all-time high of $0.0877 signifying an impressive 1,152% increment in such a short time period.
At the time of writing, Dogecoin has cooled down to $0.03831 levels which is a 70% retracement from the top and still a 300% increment from the initial $0.007 price before the pump.
Some Dogecoin (DOGE) Investors Saw Their Gains Turn Negative
As with all parabolic moves such as Dogecoin’s, a retracement was in the pipeline. Dogecoin soon cooled off and some DOGE investors who got in late on the pump bought near the top.

Responding to someone who was pitying her for the loss, she said there is no loss until the asset is sold. This implies that she’s still in the possession of the digital asset despite the significant price pullback.
Can’t lose if you don’t sell 😌 https://t.co/ce1pny3OJJ
