With the help of tech billionaire like Elon Musk and Mark Cuban, other celebrities and constant media coverage, Dogecoin had surged an eye-popping 17,000% in just four months in early 2021, captivating the entire investing community.

Dogecoin is down 76.1% from its all-time high, but it is still up a staggering 6,943% since the start of the year. Dogecoin received a lot of birthday wishes from the doge community members.

Palmer, however, is unlikely to celebrate the birthday of the meme cryptocurrency as he is no longer working in the dogecoin and abandoned the community a long time ago.
