“狗狗幣”市值突破20億美元
This cryptocurrency just reached a $2 billion market capitalization this weekend. Dogecoin doubled its market capitalization over the past two weeks.
上週末，“狗狗幣”的市值剛剛達到了20億美元。在過去的兩週裏，這種加密貨幣的市值漲了一倍。According to Coinmarket, Dogecoin has since cooled to about $1.7 billion after hitting its fresh all-time high.
據Coinmarket稱，“狗狗幣”市值在創下歷史新高後，已經回落到17億美元。Dogecoin was created by programmer Billy Markus from Portland, Oregon, who hoped to create a fun cryptocurrency that could reach a broader demographic than bitcoin. In addition, he wanted to distance it from the controversial history of other coins, mainly bitcoins.
“狗狗幣”是俄勒岡州波特蘭市程序員比利?馬庫斯發明的，他希望打造一種能比“比特幣”吸引更廣泛人羣的加密貨幣。此外，他還希望將這種貨幣與比特幣等其他數字貨幣的“黑歷史”撇清關係。
After receiving several mentions on Twitter, Palmer purchased the domain and added a splash screen, which featured the coin's logo and scattered Comic Sans text. Markus saw the site linked in an IRC chat room, and started efforts to create the currency after reaching out to Palmer.
在推特上得到一些響應後，帕默爾購買了的域名，在網站上放了閃屏，加上了“狗狗幣”的標誌，以及零星的漫畫體文字。馬庫斯在IRC聊天室中看到“狗狗幣”網站的鏈接，在與帕默爾接觸後，他開始努力編制“狗狗幣”。Dogecoin is a fun, new and rapidly growing form of digital currency.

“狗狗幣”最流行的用法是“打賞”互聯網優質內容創作或分享者。可以把其理解爲一種更有意義的“點贊”。這種“點贊”具有真實的價值，並且全網通用。Investors who missed out on bitcoin's rapid rise are looking for cryptocurrency alternatives.
