Doge” is a term that has gained widespread recognition in internet culture, primarily associated with two main phenomena:
1. Doge Meme: Originating in 2010, the Doge meme features a Shiba Inu dog named Kabosu, known for her quizzical expression. This image became the centerpiece of a meme format where multicolored Comic Sans text depicts the dog’s humorous inner monologue in broken English, often using phrases like “wow” and “much wow.” The meme gained significant popularity around 2013 and has since become an iconic part of internet humor.  
2. Dogecoin (DOGE): Inspired by the Doge meme, Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency created in 2013 by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. Initially conceived as a lighthearted and satirical alternative to other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Dogecoin has developed a dedicated community and has been used in various charitable endeavors and online tipping systems. As of March 25, 2025, Dogecoin is trading at approximately $0.183 USD, with a 24-hour trading volume of over $1.4 billion USD, ranking it as the 8th largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
