What is the Bitcoin 2022 Conference?
The Bitcoin 2022 Conference is from April 6th to April 9th, and it is guaranteed to make quite a splash. Held on Miami Beach, this amazing conference is all about bringing together cryptocurrency education with a whole lot of fun to spark what the host’s believe will be the start of a revolution.
This “4-day pilgrimage” is focused entirely upon helping the masses to better understand how they can achieve freedom and individual sovereignty with cryptocurrency. Already, they are promising an event that will never be forgotten with hit artists like Steve Aoki, Deadmau5, and San Holo. Whether you attend to increase your knowledge or just want to dance to popular artists, this is one event that is guaranteed to be trending online.
The conference itself is split into three different sections. It begins with Industry Day, a day for learning, collaboration, and networking. Days two and three are the main conference, where guests can learn all about Bitcoin and its potential. The final day of the event is for people who love to move their bodies and listen to good music. This day is known as the “Sound Money Fest” and gives you access to all kinds of amazing artists. For added convenience, tickets can be purchased with cash or Bitcoin (of course).
What Are Cryptocurrencies—and Why Do They Matter?
As early as toddlers, most of us gain an understanding of currency as a concept, whether it is watching our parents pay for our favorite candy bar or playing with toy money of our own. When cryptocurrencies first began popping up, most people believed that they would be a passing fad—and a lot of investors hoped that they would be, but they weren’t. Cryptocurrencies are here to stay, and we should consider them a part of the future whether you plan on investing yourself or not.
Cryptocurrencies are, by definition, a form of digital currency. These currencies are secured by what we refer to as cryptography, which makes sure that this digital currency stays viable and useful by ensuring that it can’t be faked. Built on blockchain technology, cryptocurrency really is another form of currency—like the dollar—but the infrastructure behind these currencies and their earning potential is why you are hearing so much about them. Cryptocurrency investments are making a lot of people a lot of money, but it is important to understand that their reliability can vary and nothing is guaranteed. There are countless forms of cryptocurrency available, with new ones joining the market every day.
Does the Cryptocurrency I Choose Matter?
If you have ever looked up cryptocurrency, chances are that you noticed that there are a lot of different “coins” or “tokens” available to invest in. Seeing all this, you might wonder what that really means, and if it actually matters what cryptocurrency you choose. Bitcoin is the most well-known form of cryptocurrency, but it isn’t the only option that you have. With that being said, the cryptocurrencies that you choose can influence your earning potential, the stability of the cryptocurrency value, and how they will perform over time
Top 5 Dog-Themed Cryptocurrencies That We Love
With so many cryptocurrency options available, the average person can find it impossible to choose which one to invest in—which is why we wanted to share the ones that we think that pawrents will love. These adorable dog-themed cryptocurrencies offer fun and finance in the same place, which makes it that much more enjoyable.
While we can’t say whether or not you should invest in them (and there are people who are far more knowledgeable than we are), we can say that these are some of the top-performing dog-themed cryptocurrencies that can help you bring home the bacon dog treats for your pup. Remember, this is all about fun—not becoming rich overnight (though, it is nice if you can have both!).
Dogecoin (DOGE)
Most pawrents are guilty of loving dog-themed goodies (and rightfully proud of it, we might add), so when Dogecoin hit the market, it got a lot of attention. Made in the stylings of the popular Doge meme, a dog meme based on beloved Shiba Inu Kabosu, this adorable pup has taken the world by storm and amassed quite a following throughout the years, gaining so much popularity that, in 2017, a news site actually wrote a hoax article claiming poor Kabosu’s death that reached a global audience. There are few dogs that are more famous on the internet, which is another reason why we love Dogecoin and the influence it has had on the cryptocurrency market.
Following the introduction of Dogecoin, the world of cryptocurrency changed forever, with countless new dog-themed cryptocurrencies popping up to the delight of those who want to make money and look at a cute pup at the same time. First formed in 2013, Dogecoin was intentionally designed to be completely ridiculous, much to the delight of the masses. What the creators didn’t expect was the high volume of attention that the coin got—or its level of success. Big names like Elon Musk and Snoop Dogg joined the scene to promote this adorable coin, and countless people use it to this day.
Shiba Inu (SHIB)
Seeing the popularity of Dogecoin, another group decided to join the bandwagon and capitalize on the cuteness that Shiba Inu dogs offer. Recognizing that no amount of wealth could possibly be as enticing as a seriously cute Shiba Inu cartoon, Shiba Inu was born in 2020.
Nicknamed the “Dogecoin Killer” by its creative team, this pawsitively adorable cryptocurrency has ranked fairly high among the competition and the focus of the team might be behind it. While making new cryptocurrencies is all well and good, the creators wanted to focus on community building and are pleasantly surprised that its enthusiastic community has helped this particular token to gain notable value since its introduction.
We love the focus behind this coin simply because it shares yet another truth—that dogs are the perfect basis for community. If this many people are ready to rally behind adorable dogs and dog cartoons on the internet, we can only imagine what will come of more dog-friendly spaces. If the ever-growing list of dog-friendly bars, parks, and community spaces are anything to go by, it is safe to say that pups have the unique ability to bring us all together one paw at a time. If you don’t believe us, try putting your dog in a cute outfit and walking in a public space to see how people respond. Dogs are a great way to make friends, even if you only know the other person as Spot’s mom or dad for the first few weeks!
Dogelon Mars (ELON)
First created in 2021, Dogelon Mars is popular for a few different reasons. The first is the name, which was chosen because of the city that it is named after. For your reference, delight, and future time spent on game shows, the capital city of Mars is, in fact, Dogelon. But, that isn’t the only reason that people love this adorable coin.
Defined as the first “interplanetary currency” to hit the market, this particular dog-themed coin is one that is really shooting for the stars. The team that created this coin believes that there is hope for humanity to live on other planets, and they use this token to reflect and share this belief. In fact, the creator of this particular cryptocurrency is actively trying to get us to Mars. At this time, there is no way of knowing whether Mars will be dog-friendly or not, so we’re not fully onboard with this transition just yet.
As a general fun fact, there is currently a hot debate to determine if this particular coin is the work of famed space-enthusiast Elon Musk—and we have to say that everything about the coin does seem to hint at it. At this time, there is no confirmation, but even if Musk isn’t behind it, choosing him as a marketing opportunity seems to be a good move for this token.
Baby Dogecoin (BABYDOGE)
For anyone who is looking to enjoy a novelty cryptocurrency investment, Baby Dogecoin has plenty to offer. This fun token is based on the original Dogecoin, but they decided to bring extra hype by adding the adorable addition of baby to these memecoins. Represented by the cutest little baby pup that you ever did see, this coin was introduced in 2021. Most consider this token to be a fan-based addition to the cryptocurrency world, but we can’t stop looking at the adorable little mascot.
Corgi Inu (CORGI)
Is it a Corgi? Is it a Shiba Inu? It’s so much better because its both, and we have to say that we are absolutely here for this cute cryptocurrency fave. We don’t know if it’s the big ears, the wide smile, or the Corgi and Shiba Inu hybrid look that we can’t get enough of, but we are so excited that its creators decided to enter the market in 2021. The way that this form of cryptocurrency works is entirely dependent upon the community, as it is a peer-to-peer token. This means that the success of it is highly dependent upon just how many people show the adorable Corgi Inu some love. Fortunately, dog lovers and cryptocurrency fans alike are celebrating this cute little token every single day. As more people learn about it, it is expected to continue growing.
Should I Invest in Cryptocurrencies?
Deciding whether you want to invest in cryptocurrency is a decision that every pawrent must make for themselves, even when there are dog-themed currencies on the line. Any time that you invest in cryptocurrency, it is important to remember that there is likely always going to be a high level of risk—and that is just how investments work.
We can’t tell you if you should invest in one of these coins—or if going with a dog-themed coin is the right choice for you at all. What we can tell you is that the best way to safely enter the world of cryptocurrency is to do your research and consult the experts (not just your fellow dog lovers).
The cryptocurrency options on this list might not make you rich, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t fun. If you want to try your hand at cryptocurrency or just want to give someone the gift of an adorable dog-themed crypto option, these can be a wonderful way to start.
We firmly believe that everything in every industry is always just a little bit better when it comes with a cute little dog face and a fluffalicious name. We would be happy to live in a world where every pup has a coin of their very own, and we love that some pawrents are using cryptocurrency to allow their pups to live large!
The Takeaway
Whether you just love looking at the pictures that these coins come with or you want to see if you can strike it rich, we believe that every pawrent and dog deserves to show these creations a little love—and look out for our new I’m a Crypto Dog tee allows your pup to show their love for cryptocurrency too. Before you invest, remember to ask your favorite furry partner in crime which one you should go with and what they want to wear to the next dog coin rally!
Until next time, thank you for reading!
