Dogecoin Genesis Block's '88' Reward Sparks Optimism

Paulo Vidal, a Dogecoin Foundation developer, recently shared an interesting fact about the cryptocurrency's genesis block. At the time of writing, DOGE was trading at $0.699 and down 0.42% weekly.

The genesis block, also known as block #0, included a Coinbase transaction with a block reward of exactly 88 DOGE when Dogecoin launched on December 6, 2013.

Vidal's tweet highlighted the '88' number, which he believes feels very 'Dogecoin.' He shared a screenshot to back this assertion and listed various reasons why 88 feels significant in the context of Dogecoin.
