LATEST RISE IN MARKET CAP VALUATION
The latest valuation of Dogecoin is approximately around 0.00095$. This is an increase from the amount of 0.00026$. The increase in Dogecoin was ever constant. Rather the increase has been a result of a meme started by many online influencers and the tech giant Elon Musk. They all together started investing into Dogecoin and this led to a massive increase of 300% in the valuation of Dogecoin in just one week. Later on the investors thought that it is too much risk to keep a permanent holding of the Dogecoin, hence they sold out their investments in this crypto. This resulted in a massive erosion of wealth. The valuation decreased almost 50 Million dollars in one night due to this erosion.
Criticism, Cryptocurrency and Future Of Innovative Financial Products
Dogecoin was a mere meme based cryptocurrency whose sole purpose was peer to peer transfer of money. This cryptocurrency later on went on to cross the market cap of 50 million dollars. This market cap is more than many Indian as well Foreign countries. The Ford Motors which is a very old and renowned firm also has less market cap than this crypto.
By this incident something is very sure that the people keep investing into useless things and they turn their wealth into gold. After some stage when normal and general public enters a financial product they cleave their investments and hence cause a price fall in that particular commodity. The same thing is happening with Bitcoin as well. The volatility that it is having is massive. There is a movement of thousands of dollars in one single day in one single session. This results into very serious problems and questions against the modern tools of financing. Are we capable enough to handle the modern techniques of wealth or they are mere tools of big investors who keep on increasing their wealth by such products?
