Itโs hard not to crack a smile when you realize that one of the most powerful assets in the world started as a total joke. ๐ Seeing how far the community has come from those early days of "Comic Sans" and Shiba Inu memes is a testament to the unpredictable nature of crypto culture.
The magic behind the "people's currency" began in 2013 with software engineers Billy Markus (aka Shibetoshi Nakamoto) and Jackson Palmer. While they created $DOGE to satirize the wild speculation of the time, they accidentally built something more valuable: a community. The real strength lies in its fair launch and its role as the ultimate entry point for newcomers. Understanding this origin story helps you see that value isn't just in the code; it's in the social consensus and the "Do Only Good Everyday" mission. ๐โจ
As $DOGE approaches its next major milestones, are you holding for the memes or the utility? Tell us your Shiba story! ๐
