About
This dataset offers historical price information for various cryptocurrencies, encompassing popular meme coins such as Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, alongside established digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. It provides valuable insight into the contrasting nature of these assets; for instance, Dogecoin, created light-heartedly and designed without a scarcity limit, with 10,000 new coins added every minute, differs significantly from Bitcoin, which has a fixed supply of 21 million. The dataset was compiled to help users understand the distinctions and reasons behind sudden market movements, particularly concerning meme coins, and to raise awareness about the diverse categories within the cryptocurrency landscape. It includes data for meme, penny, dead, and famous/largest cryptocurrencies, categorised by market capitalisation.
