Dogecoin started Monday’s session around $0.077 and remained largely bound under the $0.082 level until Thursday.

According to pseudonymous crypto analyst Kaleo, Dogecoin is always a “buy when it’s boring,” because during bull runs the cryptocurrency surges. “Be patient; sell when it has a massive pump,” he said.  

Last week, Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus said that DOGE at $1 would take its market capitalization above that of “actual companies that provide services to millions” like Boeing, Starbucks, American Express Company, and his former employer IBM.

“Does Dogecoin deserve that? That is not something I can comprehend, let alone answer,” Markus said.
