February was a very eventful month for the crypto industry. Bitcoin (BTC) hit a new all-time high, and so did Ethereum (ETH). Surprisingly, however, so did Dogecoin, a meme-based cryptocurrency that is, coincidentally, also the favorite coin of the world’s richest man, Elon Musk. But, while DOGE did surprise the world by hitting an all-time high, it was even more surprising that it managed to beat Bitcoin on Twitter.
Dogecoin dominates Twitter
In February, Dogecoin’s Twitter mentions exceeded Bitcoin’s, which is the first time in the history of crypto that this has happened. In fact, no other cryptocurrency has ever been referenced more on Twitter than Bitcoin itself.
The data claiming that DOGE has outperformed Bitcoin in Twitter mentions was collected, analyzed, and presented by a crypto tracker ICO Analytics, which reported that Dogecoin commanded 10.4% of all crypto mentions on the popular social media website.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, held 10.1% of mentions, which is not a huge difference, but enough for Bitcoin to officially lose the popularity contest to DOGE.
