They plotted key moments from the episode, from the cold open to the rolling credits, to see how the cryptocurrency's price fluctuated as a result.

It's lowest point — roughly around $0.50 — came when Musk said "Call me the Doge Father" on the show. As the episode ended, Dogecoin was trading at around $0.55.
