Dogecoin Core

The world of cryptocurrency can be a very strange one, especially for the uninitiated.

Things can get even stranger when it comes to Dogecoin, one of the most popular cryptocurrencies out there, mainly thanks to its connection with the famous internet Doge meme, depicting a goofy Shiba Inu.

Even though the crypto's origins are quite funny, Dogecoin has grown a lot over the past few years and has amassed an impressively loyal community.

There are a lot of solid reasons for wanting to own and buy Dogecoin.

Transactions are fast, it's one of the most valuable cryptos out there, the community is amazing (with an emphasis on the charity work done by the Dogecoin Foundation), it offers minimal loss, and it's relatively cheap in comparison to other coins in this bracket.

There are a lot of good options for wallets capable of storing Dogecoin, however, if you don't want a hardware wallet, then the official Dogecoin wallet is the way to go.

The wallet is called Dogecoin Core, and it's available for all three major platforms out there: Windows, macOS, and Linux (as well as Android).

The app offers users all the amenities one could expect from a wallet: a safe environment for storing Dogecoin, a clear GUI that allows users to see the latest transactions, send Dogecoin, as well as receive them.

Even though the app itself doesn't stand out in terms of features, it does add a bit of twist when it comes to how wallets should be. The four main sections of the Wallet are "Wow" (home), "Such Send," "Much Receive," and "Transactions."

First-time users are strongly advised to check out the community-maintained Reddit guide.

Last but not least, please note that Dogecoin Core requires at least 5 GB of free space to download at least one chunk of the existing blockchain before you can make full use of its features.
