Elon Musk's spokesperson Jared Birchall and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin will serve as advisors to the newly resurrected Dogecoin Foundation, the key team behind the joke cryptocurrency announced exclusively to Decrypt in an exclusive interview.
DOGE to INRThe Dogecoin Foundation manifesto was published on Sunday, and declared its ambitious goal: to develop “a currency for the people.”
The team’s plans are nothing less than to make the cryptocurrency—which started out as a joke—a viable payment method, one that can routinely be used to buy a cup of coffee.
Musk has been advising the team on how to achieve this goal since 2019, as Decrypt exclusively revealed in May, and a foundation with legal status which provides a structure to hire the full-time staff needed for such a process is key.
