Dogecoin (CRYPTO:DOGE) has captured the attention of the investing world, though it's had a little help from some well-known billionaires. Elon Musk has referred to Dogecoin as "the people's crypto" and tweeted that SpaceX would put a literal Dogecoin on the moon. Mark Cuban told
Forbes that Dogecoin was "the best entertainment for your buck" and noted that he purchased a few dollars' worth of Dogecoin for his son.
This kind of publicity, along with a frenzied following on Reddit, has sent Dogecoin's value soaring. At Friday morning's prices, it's up more than 300% over the past month -- and in the last year, it has surged more than 10,000%.
