Dogecoin’s (CRYPTO: DOGE) official X account reflected on its dog-themed origins on Tuesday, describing the decision to feature a dog meme on money as “one of the internet’s more reasonable ideas."
The Celebrated ‘Dog’ Origins
The X post celebrated Dogecoin’s origins as a joke cryptocurrency built around the viral “Doge” meme and the Shiba Inu dog, which helped build its community appeal.
“Putting a dog on the money was actually one of the internet’s more reasonable ideas,” Dogecoin said.
The post triggered a flurry of replies from the DOGE enthusiasts, with one “Hoodroids” stating that what started as a joke has evolved into a “real asset,” thanks to the internet.
Has the Joke Turned into a Real Asset?
DOGE is currently worth $12.31 billion, higher than that of Domino’s Pizza Inc. (NASDAQ:DPZ). At its peak, the memecoin was valued at over $82 billion.
