狗狗幣 (DOGE) 將於 2024 年復甦，但投資前您需要了解以下內容

狗狗幣（DOGE 5.03%）似乎憑空而來，在 2024 年表現出色。

Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) has had an incredible run in 2024, up 120% for the year and now the eighth-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of nearly $30 billion. Given that Dogecoin is outperforming Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) for the year, it's no surprise that it is beginning to attract attention from crypto investors. But before you decide to invest in Dogecoin, there are three key things you need to know.

狗狗幣（加密貨幣代碼：DOGE）在 2024 年取得了令人難以置信的成長，全年上漲 120%，目前是第八大加密貨幣，市值近 300 億美元。鑑於狗狗幣今年的表現優於比特幣（加密貨幣：BTC），它開始吸引加密貨幣投資者的注意也就不足為奇了。但在您決定投資狗狗幣之前，您需要了解三個關鍵事項。

1. The price of Dogecoin is based on hype and speculation.

1. 狗狗幣的價格是基於炒作和投機。

Dogecoin is, first and foremost, a meme coin. That means that its price performance is based on nothing more than hype, buzz, and speculation. As a result, Dogecoin is capable of skyrocketing in price if there's enough hype and buzz. But, at any moment, the hype bubble could collapse, and the price of Dogecoin could fall to zero.

狗狗幣首先是一種迷因幣。這意味著它的價格表現只不過是基於炒作、嗡嗡聲和投機。因此，如果有足夠的炒作和嗡嗡聲，狗狗幣的價格可能會飆升。但是，炒作泡沫隨時可能崩潰，狗狗幣的價格可能會跌至零。

Just consider what happened in 2021. In early January, Dogecoin was trading for just $0.01. After a huge hype cycle, Dogecoin exploded in value before hitting $0.74 in May. By July, though, the hype cycle was over, and Dogecoin collapsed to just $0.20. If you are viewing a trading chart for Dogecoin for that time period, it's a vertical line straight up, followed almost immediately by a vertical line straight down.

想想 2021 年發生的事情。經過一輪巨大的炒作週期後，狗狗幣的價值爆炸式增長，並在 5 月觸及 0.74 美元。然而，到 7 月，炒作週期結束，狗狗幣跌至 0.20 美元。如果您正在查看該時間段的狗狗幣交易圖表，它是一條垂直向上的垂直線，緊接著是一條垂直向下的垂直線。

So, if you're dreaming of getting rich quickly and becoming a Dogecoin millionaire, you need to adjust your expectations. In more than a decade, Dogecoin has never once hit the $1 mark. That brief period in May 2021, when Dogecoin hit a price of $0.74, was the only time it ever came close.

因此，如果您夢想快速致富並成為狗狗幣百萬富翁，您需要調整您的期望。十多年來，狗狗幣從未突破 1 美元大關。 2021 年 5 月，狗狗幣價格觸及 0.74 美元的短暫時期，是唯一一次接近該價格的時間。

2. Dogecoin is no longer the only dog-themed meme coin.

2.狗狗幣不再是唯一以狗為主題的迷因幣。

When Dogecoin launched in 2013, it stood alone as the only meme coin. However, since then, there have been many Dogecoin copycats, rivals, and spinoffs. The most obvious rival is Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB), which has a market cap of about $11 billion. If you use a site like CoinMarketCap, you can easily find a large number of other Dogecoin alternatives, all of them using nearly the same dog mascot.

當狗狗幣於 2013 年推出時，它是唯一的迷因幣。然而，從那時起，出現了許多狗狗幣的模仿者、競爭對手和衍生產品。最明顯的競爭對手是柴犬（加密貨幣：SHIB），其市值約為 110 億美元。如果您使用像 CoinMarketCap 這樣的網站，您可以輕鬆找到大量其他狗狗幣替代品，它們都使用幾乎相同的狗吉祥物。

Taking a bigger-picture view, the meme coin universe is expanding at a very rapid rate, and Dogecoin is hardly unique anymore. There are literally thousands of new meme coins being created daily. So, it's much harder for Dogecoin to be the top dog.

從更宏觀的角度來看，迷因幣宇宙正在以非常快的速度擴張，狗狗幣不再是獨一無二的。每天都會有數千個新的迷因幣被創造出來。因此，狗狗幣想要成為領頭羊要困難得多。

In terms of overall performance, Dogecoin doesn't even come close to some of the hottest meme coins. For example, the dog-themed meme coin Dogwifhat (CRYPTO: WIF) is up a stunning 1,300% for the year. And you can now find cat-themed meme coins that are up even more. Even if you're OK with the idea of investing in speculative meme coins, you'd still be leaving money on the table by investing in Dogecoin rather than one of these other meme coins.

就整體性能而言，狗狗幣甚至無法與一些最熱門的模因幣相媲美。例如，以狗為主題的迷因幣 Dogwifhat (CRYPTO: WIF) 今年上漲了驚人的 1,300%。現在，您可以找到以貓為主題的迷因硬幣，其漲幅甚至更大。即使您同意投資投機性迷因幣的想法，您仍然可以透過投資狗狗幣而不是其他迷因幣之一來賺錢。

3. Dogecoin's future is highly leveraged to Elon Musk.

3. 狗狗幣的未來對伊隆馬斯克來說是高度槓桿化的。

The one key factor in Dogecoin's favor is the unique relationship that it enjoys with tech billionaire Elon Musk. Ever since 2021, when Elon Musk became known as the "Dogefather," he has been one of the biggest supporters of Dogecoin. Typically, this support occurs via social media, where a simple tweet from him can send the coin higher.

狗狗幣受到青睞的關鍵因素是它與科技億萬富翁伊隆馬斯克之間的獨特關係。自 2021 年伊隆馬斯克被稱為「狗狗之父」以來，他一直是狗狗幣的最大支持者之一。通常，這種支持是透過社群媒體發生的，他的一條簡單的推文就可以讓代幣走高。

And this could be the reason Dogecoin is seeing a resurgence this year. Starting in January, when buzz started to grow about a potential Dogecoin integration with X (formerly known as Twitter), Musk has been sending stronger and stronger signals that he is fully behind Dogecoin.

這可能就是狗狗幣今年復甦的原因。從一月開始，當有關狗狗幣與 X（以前稱為 Twitter）整合的傳聞開始升溫時，馬斯克一直在發出越來越強烈的信號，表明他完全支持狗狗幣。

Musk's latest move was to propose a new public sector entity -- the Department of Government Efficiency -- that would be known simply as D.O.G.E. So the speculation now is that Dogecoin could continue to soar, given that Musk is slated to play a role in running D.O.G.E.

馬斯克的最新舉措是提議成立一個新的公共部門實體——政府效率部——簡稱為 DOGE。狗

And that gets us back to the idea that the price performance of Dogecoin is based on nothing more than hype, buzz, and speculation. Dogecoin might do this, and it might do that. But will it? Are you comfortable with the idea of Dogecoin's price zig-zagging on a daily basis based on some new tweet from Musk?

這讓我們回到了這樣一個觀點：狗狗幣的價格表現只不過是基於炒作、嗡嗡聲和投機。狗狗幣可能會這樣做，也可能會這樣做。但會嗎？您對狗狗幣的價格根據馬斯克的一些新推文每天波動的想法感到滿意嗎？

Should you invest in Dogecoin?

你該投資狗狗幣嗎？

Meme coins are meant to be fun and entertaining, so if you do decide to invest in Dogecoin, treat it as an entertainment expense rather than an investment. While I can see the appeal of meme coins for crypto investors, they have no place in a long-term investment portfolio.

迷因幣意味著有趣和娛樂，所以如果您決定投資狗狗幣，請將其視為娛樂支出而不是投資。雖然我可以看到迷因幣對加密貨幣投資者的吸引力，但它們在長期投資組合中沒有一席之地。
