Our DOGE Price Prediction for 2020

Dogecoin is currently out of the top 30 coins in the cryptocurrency market ranked by market cap. Even though market capitalization has been proven time and again, as a lacking measurement for a coin’s success, it is still the benchmark when it comes to cryptocurrencies. Dogecoin, as the rest of the market, is tied at the hip of bitcoin’s price action. If bitcoin embarks on another bull run, Dogecoin can hope for one as well. Since a strong Bitcoin move in 2020 is very likely, we can expect some swings and moves upwards by DOGE as well. So 2020 will be a year of potential big moves (more likely upwards) and we can see Dogecoin at least doubling its end of 2019 price value. Of course, we speak about Dogecoin price denominated in USD. In terms of its BTC value, it is more likely that BTC will outperform it and DOGE will be worth less Satoshis by the end of 2020. It seems that Dogecoin price will end the year in a tight bear grip, just like the rest of the cryptocurrency market. Next year doesn’t look to bright either in our opinion.

DOGE-BTC Price Correlation

The vast majority of trading that occurs in the crypto markets are between BTC and altcoin trading pairs. Since most altcoins do not pair with fiat currencies (and only a few are paired with stable coins like USTD), Bitcoin is the next best option. Therefore, when Bitcoin is stable, it forms as the ideal base currency for buying altcoins (which is why altcoins tend to do well when Bitcoin goes sideways).

Correlation is measured on a scale from -1 to 1. Values above 0 shows the degree to which altcoin is moving in the same direction as BTC prices (either up or down in tandem), and values below 0 shows the degree to which altcoin moves in the opposite direction of BTC prices (so when BTC goes down, altcoin goes up, or vice versa). Values around 0 shows that when BTC price moves, altcoins stays steady, or alternatively that when altcoin moves up or down that the BTC price is staying steady.

Based on the correlation analysis, BTC and DOGE have a strong positive relationship. The correlation coefficient of their prices is 0.44, which was calculated based on the previous 100-days’ price dynamics of both currencies. What all of this aims to convey is, Dogecoin price is highly dependent on bitcoin price action. Individual price analysis for a particular coin makes sense only in a narrow set of circumstances. Technical analysis is even more lacking for a long-term forecast of a coin’s future. The majority of projects will fail — some startups are created just to gather funds and disappear, some would not handle the competition, but most are just ideas that look good on paper, but in reality, are useless for the market. 

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum said:

“There are some good ideas, there are a lot of very bad ideas, and there are a lot of very, very bad ideas, and quite a few scams as well”

Dogecoin Projections 2020 – 2025

As a result, over 95% of successful ICOs and cryptocurrency projects will fail and their investors will lose money. The other 5% of projects will become the new Apple, Google or Alibaba in the cryptoindustry. Will DOGE be among those 5%? If we are honest, there is not much going on for Doge aside of this welcoming and ardent community. It is unreasonable to expect a long-term Dogecoin survival if that is the only hinge for the project.

Dogecoin Price Prediction 2030

Even though this is a Dogecoin prediction article, making a Dogecoin forecast for 2030 is a ridiculous thing to do. There is no price chart or price analysis that can make a reliable Dogecoin projection for such distant future. If it lives long enough to see 2030, though, Dogecoin might actually be a very sought after commodity.

Dogecoin Price Prediction 2040

2040 is two decades away, making a Doge price prediction even more preposterous and senseless task. For fun, let’s say future price of Doge will be $2.

Why will Dogecoin succeed?

Reasons for Dogecoin to go up and rise in price are scarce. It is still one of the favorite jokes around, even Elon Musk joins the fun occasionally but we simply do not see the grounds for Doge long-term success. Its use case is already taken up by bitcoin and other more serious projects. Dogecoin could hybernate its way into the future as a sentimental value that early adopters keep cherishing and using for meme and joke purposes.

Why will Dogecoin fail?

The biggest threat to Dogecoin is one of their biggest advantages: their use case. This is a joke coin – never meant to stay alive this long, nor to reach these market caps and market exposure. Eventually, the joke will stop being funny and the project will get delisted and effectively killed by the exchanges.

Will Dogecoin ever reach $1?

Every option is a possibility but with different probability of happening. Should bitcoin enter a bull run similar to the one from 2017, Doge price prediction will look much brighter as price of Dogecoin can surely climb up to its previous all time high, but reaching $1 is a holders pipedream and borderline fantasy. So, quick answer to the question will Dogecoin hit $1 is a BIG NO.

Is Doge dead?

No, judging by the team activity on social media, github, their own website. Their communities on Reddit and Telegram are also active, although much lower engagement levels are noticeable when compared to 2017. Coin is also still listed on all major exchanges which indicates that Dogecoin is far from a dead project.

Dogecoin can’t be killed

Ever since its founder Jackon Palmer departed the community in 2015, the development has waned and prophecies about imminent Dogecoin death started floating around. However, as one of the Doge developers told CoinDesk back in 2017, it is pretty hard to “kill a cryptocurrency”. “Cryptocurrencies are “a bit zombie-like”, Nicoll said. “It’s very, very hard to kill a cryptocurrency.” Some might call a valueless cryptocurrency ‘dead’, but that would be missing any educational or entertainment value the token might provide. For instance, Nicoll said even after the 2014 fork, shibes were moving the old version of the coin around for about five or six months. “It was a functional currency, but you couldn’t use it at shops or on exchanges. We don’t know why they were doing it, but they were having a whale of a time,” he said.

What are the best crypto portfolio apps?

But how do you really kill it? The proverbial headshot for a ‘zombie coin’, according to Nicoll, would require removing the original code from GitHub, making it exceedingly hard to recreate it since very few people keep copies of source code material. Yet the nature of open-source software means that, in that rare instance, copies of the code could still be floating out there somewhere on the internet.”

Use cases emerging

Biggest ace in the sleeve for Doge future is its current most frequent application as a tipping currency. With websites like Litebit, Anycoin, Suchlist, keys4coins, dogegifts, clockworkcrypto and an official Reddit tip bot (there is talk of a Telegram tip bot as well), more and more ways of spending your DOGE are popping up by the day. Dogecoin is very much in line with the United States’ “tip culture”, and with the rise of reward culture on the Internet in the world, Dogecoin will also be widely used. Compared to expensive Bitcoin, the threshold for Dogecoin is even lower, and it’s much cuter. Dogecoin could become the most popular “tip cryptocurrency” in the U.S. Internet. Despite the bear beating the Doge during this extended period of crypto slaughter, 1 Doge is still worth 1 Doge and much wow is not going anywhere!
