Unlike Bitcoin, which is designed to be scarce and resistant to inflation, Dogecoin was created to be abundant. There are about 130 billion DOGE circulating, and miners produce another 10,000 every minute.

Abundance is a key part of the idea — Dogecoin was created as a fun, low-stakes Bitcoin alternative. As soon as it was launched in late 2013, it began attracting an enthusiastic online community that famously once used DOGE to help send the Jamaican bobsled team to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
