Dogecoin has had a wild 2021 to date, climbing more than 13,000% from a price point under a penny at the start of the year to a peak above $0.73 per DOGE in May—and a steady decline amidst wider market struggles to a recent low of about $0.17.
Today, however, Dogecoin is the biggest winner in the Top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap, posting a gain of nearly 14% over the last 24 hours per CoinGecko. As of this writing, Dogecoin’s price sits above $0.22, a mark it hadn’t seen since July 9.
Dogecoin has now risen 21% in value over the last seven days, essentially matching Bitcoin's climb during the same span and just short of Ethereum's 23% leap over the last week. A single DOGE is worth a fraction as much as those market leaders, of course, but percentage gains are the real mark of performance for holders.
The last couple weeks have been particularly volatile for the leading meme coin, and while the up-and-down swings have constituted only pennies’ worth of difference in price, the percentage swings—down 20% over the past week as of July 16, then up 10% after Elon Musk changed his Twitter profile picture—have been potentially unsettling for investors.
Amidst all of it, Dogecoin co-creator Jackson Palmer—who left the project in 2015—launched a scathing critique of cryptocurrency on Twitter.
“After years of studying it, I believe that cryptocurrency is an inherently right-wing, hyper-capitalistic technology built primarily to amplify the wealth of its proponents through a combination of tax avoidance, diminished regulatory oversight and artificially enforced scarcity,” he tweeted on July 14, kicking off a lengthy thread on the matter.
I am often asked if I will “return to cryptocurrency” or begin regularly sharing my thoughts on the topic again. My answer is a wholehearted “no”, but to avoid repeating myself I figure it might be worthwhile briefly explaining why here…
— Jackson Palmer (@ummjackson) July 14, 2021
“Cryptocurrency is like taking the worst parts of today's capitalist system (eg. corruption, fraud, inequality) and using software to technically limit the use of interventions (eg. audits, regulation, taxation) which serve as protections or safety nets for the average person,” Palmer added.
The co-founder of Dogecoin today launched an astonishing attack on cryptocurrency—claiming it has the “worst parts of today's capitalist system.” Jackson Palmer, who founded Dogecoin in 2013 for fun with co-founder Billy Markus before selling all his holdings, explained in a Wednesday Twitter thread why he wants nothing more to do with the crypto world. “After years of studying it, I believe that cryptocurrency is an inherently right-wing, hyper-capitalistic technology built primarily to amplif...
Even so, his co-creation continues to thrive in the market, as seen in the gains over the last 24 hours. Dogecoin has a current market cap above $29 billion, which is seventh highest by market cap, although its price is still nearly 70% off its May peak.
Outside of the Top 10, other notable winners today include Chainlink, which is up more than 18% over the last 24 hours to a price of $19.45, as well as Polygon (ex-Matic), up 19% to a price of $1.08 as of this writing.

Nasdaq has applied for a rule change with the SEC that would allow the exchange to list shares of a proposed exchange-traded fund tracking the spot price of Avalanche, according to a filing Thursday. The 19b-4 filing comes a month after the fund giant submitted an application for a VanEck Avalanche ETF, and a little over two weeks after Nasdaq submitted an application for a rules change to list shares of a Grayscale Avalanche fund. These filings and a slew of others tracking top altcoins have de...
Investors remain wary that the $29-trillion U.S. Treasury market is flashing a warning sign, which may force the Federal Reserve to intervene. But that might buoy Bitcoin if prices rise as the central bank introduces more liquidity into markets, says one analyst. Benchmark yields have trended upward since Treasuries were hit with a selloff on Monday. Ten-year yields were hovering around 4.36% on Thursday, despite a small surge on Wednesday after U.S. President Donald Trump decided to pause most...
The price of Bitcoin fell to $79,500 on Thursday, erasing much of the prior day’s gains after jumping to $83,300, as jubilation over U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff pause faded. BTC was recently down about 3.1% over the past 24 hours. The president lowered tariffs on most nations to 10% yesterday, sparking a furious rally within the cryptosphere and broader markets, as investors contemplated how the U.S. had avoided a trade war with 180 nations caught up in Trump’s “Liberation Day” announce...
