God damn, this thread is useless. Came here to check what's the reason behind today's DOGE surge (~25% up in btc) and... nothing. Had to do my own research.

Apparently it's all due to 'DOGETHEREUM' launch, a bridge between DOGE and ETH:

FTFY

As strange as it is, looking at the all-time USD chart, DOGE turned out to be pretty amazing investment, especially to those who got in pre 2017. Not bad for uncapped, inflationary crypto.
