Dogecoin (DOGE) lands on Young Platform!

You can now buy, sell and store Dogecoin (DOGE) on Young Platform!

 

What is Dogecoin?

The name of the coin is based on a well-known meme, namely the doge: a friendly shiba inu dog whose statements in comic sans are always sarcastic.

The creators are two software engineers: Billy Markus from IBM and Jackson Palmer from Adobe, who launched Dogecoin in 2013, as a satirical response to the hundreds of altcoins that were publishing whitepapers and calling themselves revolutionary.

7 years later it is among the top 10 cryptocurrencies on the market by capitalisation and has become the second most popular cryptocurrency in the world, thanks to its honorary godfather Elon Musk.

 

How does DOGE work?

Dogecoin is a simple means of exchange on the internet. As well as being used in social communities to trade without intermediaries between users and to support content creators, it is now accepted by more than 1,300 merchants.

The most famous of these are the Dallas Mavericks NBA team, the Kessler Collection hotel chain, AirBaltic and Post Oak Motor Cars, the first Rolls-Royce dealership.

 

Why has Young Platform decided to list it?

Dogecoin is now the 6th cryptocurrency on the market by marketcap and, despite its social media-driven volatility, is still on a positive trend, demonstrating that it can rely on a strong community.

 

Available pairs?

On Young Platform and Young Platform Pro you can buy and sell Dogecoin with the following pairs:

  • DOGE/EUR
  • DOGE/USDT

Polkadot (DOT) lands on Young Platform!

You can now buy, sell and store Polkadot (DOT) on Young Platform!

What is Polkadot?

Polkadot is not only a cryptocurrency, but first and foremost a next-generation blockchain. It was created as a “relay” blockchain that hosts “para-chains” in its network, i.e. other blockchains with specific use cases. It thus facilitates access to a wide range of blockchain-based services.

Not only does Polkadot succeed in connecting completely different projects on a technical level, but also facilitates intercommunication and, above all, does so in a scalable way.

How does the DOT coin work?

The role of the native Polkadot cryptocurrency (DOT) is key: you can stake DOT to receive rewards and participate in network governance. From $8.87 in January 2021, its value today is around $24, with an all-time-high at $48.68.

Why did Young decide to list it?

Polkadot is by far one of the most popular coins in the community this year and is currently ranked 9th for market capitalisation. And now Young Platform is the first Italian exchange to list this coin!

Available pairs?

Polkadot can be traded on both Young Platform and Young Platform Pro with the following pairs:

DOT/EUR
DOT/USDT

Young for diversity and inclusion

2021 is an important year for Young: it represents the beginning of the democratisation process of the cryptocurrency market through its products and services. The Young ecosystem is evolving to reach full integrated accessibility.

 

The importance of accessibility

Computer accessibility concerns about 20% of the world population: this is the percentage of people with visual, mobility and cognitive impairments that affect their personal use of the web. More than 1 billion people can’t take full advantage of the potential of the web, of its sources and its services.

Besides people with visual and mobility difficulties, there are several profiles that need accessible websites.

Starting today, the main website and the Young Platform exchange are available to all people who have difficulties in using online services, thanks to the partnership with AccessiWay.

 

The integrated solutions

Navigation adjustments with a screen reader for blind individuals and keyboard navigation for people with mobility difficulties have been integrated. Images can be transformed into detailed descriptions, characters can become readable with adjustable size changes, spacing, colour contrasts, sliders, text emphasizing, and more.

In 2018, with the Legislative Decree n. 106 amending and updating the Law n.4/2004, Italy has adopted the EU Directive 2016/2012, in order to increase computer and mobile app accessibility in the public sector of each Member State.

Even though the private sector does not fall under the Legislative Decree, Young undertakes to comply with the terms established by the European Union, achieving full compliance with the law.

 

The CEO comments

“During the last year, Young has been making progress in a process of inclusion that is not only present within the company but it actually lies in our community.

Starting today, thanks to the partnership with AccessiWay, our exchange platform and website have been adapted to the needs of those people that might find web browsing difficult” says Andrea Ferrero, “This is certainly a starting point, but there’s still a lot of work to be done. Anyway, the Young community is an integral part of our DNA and it is our responsibility to make sure that everyone can benefit from the technological change of which we are advocates.”

What is the difference between MKR and DAI?
