Dogecoin’s Decade Gamble: What $1,000 Turns Into After 10 Wild Years

Ten years ago, you tossed $1,000 into Dogecoin—the meme coin that Wall Street scoffed at. Now? That bet’s either a cautionary tale or a retirement plan, depending on who you ask.

No crystal balls here, but let’s just say the ‘people’s crypto’ has a habit of defying expectations—and gravity. Whether it’s lambos or lunch money, the real joke might be on the traditional finance bros who missed the rocket.

Could You Have Made More?

DOGE hit an all-time high of $0.7316 on May 8, 2021. If you had sold your $1000 worth of Doge when the asset was at its peak, you would have made $3.78 million. In this scenario, your investment would have grown by 756,170%, nearly three times more than what you would have made in 2025.

Can You Still Make It Big With Dogecoin?

Dogecoin (DOGE) has had ample success in its 11-year history. The original memecoin has gone beyond being just a cryptocurrency. DOGE has garnered the support of millions of holders. The project has also found a fan in Elon Musk, the world’s richest person.

There is a lot of talk about Musk integrating Dogecoin (DOGE) in X’s payment feature. Musk has already enabled DOGE payments for many of his ventures. There is a high probability that Musk will take a similar route for X’s payment tool. If DOGE payments are introduced on the social media platform, millions of people will gain access to the asset. We could see a new wave of people starting to use DOGE. In such a case, the price of the memecoin could rise by a very large amount. The asset may then be able to reach the $1 level.

A DOGE ETF is currently under review by the SEC. A green light from the financial watchdog could draw additional funds from large investors. With this action, DOGE may MOVE past $1 in price.

DOGE may also see a surge if BTC’s price heads upwards. Many people expect Bitcoin to climb to $1 million before the decade ends. If this development occurred, the price of DOGE could skyrocket.
