Dogecoin or bust

Will the craze for the cryptocurrency started as a joke end in tears? We delve into the world of Dogecoin and ask why people are investing and what the consequences might be.

Plus, Kevin Roose, a tech columnist with the New York Times explains why the last year of financial trials and tribulations have made cryptocurrencies attractive to some seeking to make a fortune. And David Gerard, a cryptocurrency sceptic and author of Attack of the 50ft Blockchain, tells us why he thinks the crypto boom will turn to a bust.
