Dogecoin was originally a joke, created in 2013, inspired by the Shiba Inu "Doge" meme. However, it was thrust into the spotlight in 2021, even receiving a boost from Elon Musk, causing its market value to briefly exceed tens of billions of dollars. Although its initial purpose was to satirize the cryptocurrency craze, it ultimately became a popular project in the cryptocurrency market, truly a case of "joke turned reality." $DOGE
