Dogecoin Causes Investor’s Website To Crash As Traffic Surges 1,000%

---

Critics of Bitcoin claim that it has no real world usage (although several African countries are proving otherwise as of late), but what will they say if they find out that Dogecoin, the currency started as a joke, is from time to time even more popular.

A Canadian app developer which announced that it was investing in Dogecoin found out exactly how popular the Shiba Inu represented coin is when its website crashed because of a surge in traffic. The company’s stock price has lately exploded.

Server overload

Canadian company Hello Pal International is working on live streaming, language learning, and social-crypto platforms. Seeing the popularity of the cryptosphere, it announced last week that it was directly investing in a Dogecoin mining facility.

As a result, Doge fans flooded to it’s website in such numbers that the Vancouver based firm suffered a temporary outage due to server overload. In essence, website traffic was up 1,000% and its server crashed.

The sharp increase in activity on our website and the Hello Pal app validates the clear position we have taken on Dogecoin as well as on cryptocurrency in general.

Musk, Snoop Dogg and Cuban as fans

The meme-coin has seen an explosion of popularity this year as investors look to diversify their holdings in crypto.

Back in 2020, given that Tesla CEO Elon Musk regularly sent out jokes about Dogecoin, the small crypto was used to spiking and then deflating afterwards. By now, it counts many fans, like billionaire Mark Cuban and rapper Snoop Dogg, and is as of late trading at a normal crypto coin. Still with spikes and deflations afterwards, but the level of $0,005 hasn’t been abandoned for months now.

Over the past week, Dogecoin is up 3%.
