Elon's proposed plans for Dogecoin
Since taking over as the owner and CEO of Twitter, Dogecoin has notably featured prominently in most of Elon Musk's most ambitious plans for the social media platform. With Musk already seeking approval to float a payment feature for the micro-blogging site, Dogecoin has been tipped as one of the major digital currencies that will be featured.
Dogecoin has had limited volatility since the start of the year, and this is in part due to fewer promotional tweets from Elon Musk. Now that the billionaire investor has showcased Dogecoin as his favorite digital currency, many community members are anticipating corresponding growth in the price of the meme coin.
