Elon Musk might soon be stepping down as the CEO of Twitter and, judging by Dogecoin’s price action on Monday, the news isn’t going down well. DOGE, the token that powers the decentralized dog meme-inspired Dogecoin blockchain payments network, was last down just shy of 2.0% on Monday near $0.077 and eyeing a retest of last Friday’s lows in the $0.074 area. Price predictions for the cryptocurrency remain downbeat, with DOGE currently down close to 30% on the month.
