Doge: The Meme That Became Money
Doge started as a 2010 photo of a Shiba Inu named Kabosu, quickly turning into a viral meme with funny captions like “such wow” and “very amaze.” In 2013, it inspired the creation of Dogecoin, a lighthearted cryptocurrency by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. What began as a joke became a global digital asset with a strong online community, widely used for tipping, charity, and sponsorships. With celebrity mentions, especially from Elon Musk, Dogecoin gained massive popularity, showing how internet culture can shape real-world finance. Doge is more than a meme — it’s proof of the internet’s power to turn humor into innovation.
