But for those of you who, like me, want to try out cryptocurrencies, here's the way I did it.
This purchase should have been far easier than it was. So, for my first ever cryptocurrency, I went out and bought Dogecoin. But since I don't have $66,469 lying around to buy a Bitcoin, we're going to pretend this never happened. And the obsessive personality in me longs to not just own some fraction but the entire coin. Despite this increase in value by nearly 150%, these one ten thousandths of a Bitcoin are not very sexy. As you know from my very first article, " Buying Bitcoin," I am the proud owner of 0.00011251 BTC. My First Crypto (Part II)Īlright, so this isn't technically true. Dogecoin is that little (crypto)currency that could. And that's before celebrities like Elon Musk and Gene Simmons. It has one of the most loving and embracing communities that freely give the currency to others as tips or to charities. While there can only ever be 21 million Bitcoin, as of October 14th, 2021, there are 131.6 billion Dogecoin!ĭespite this origin, Dogecoin has withstood the test of time. In mockery of the cryptocurrency industry, Dogecoin does not even have programmed scarcity. Its iconic imagery of a Shiba Inu dog was one of the most popular memes at the time. They are a copy of the distributed ledger! The most recent of these wallets was Litecoin, which we mentioned in " Cryptocurrency and Blockchains." Before that was Bitcoin, the iconic cryptocurrency that is discussed at length in " Bitcoin for Beginners."īut the first of these was Dogecoin (DOGE).ĭogecoin is very odd. These wallets not only keep count of any of your cryptocurrencies but are replicate the entire blockchain.
#DOGECOIN CORE WALLET TAKING FOREVER PORTABLE#
These portable apps are wallets for these cryptocurrencies. However, when I went to the Portable Apps directory, I saw something I've never seen before: three cryptocurrency core portable apps. Nowadays, there are over 400 applications available. Now that I am in IT, I have CCleaner, CPU-Z, CrystalDiskInfo, and every antimalware product available. While obviously, I got into Portable Apps so that I can take my Firefox or a Chrome browser with me, which was so important when I was a college instructor teaching from dozens of different computers across campus. I carry my browser and dozens of other applications with me wherever I go. As I highlighted in " Taking My Browsers with Me," I love Portable App.
