‘ rise has obviously been due to Dogecoin’s success,’ says Hsiao,” CEO of crypto magazine Block Journal.ĭogecoin’s meteoric rise can be traced, in part, to fallout from the GameStop saga in March, as individual retail traders who fueled GameStop’s rise turned to joke cryptocurrencies. They wrote, “The SHIB coin lived in relative obscurity from August until earlier this year, when a surge in interest for Dogecoin drove traders to find the next big thing. In May, my colleagues Grady McGregor and Yvonne Lau dove deeper into the surging new coin.

Jackson Palmer, an Australian software developer and Adobe product manager, co-opted the meme in creating his cryptocurrency spoof.

The bits of speech-”wow,” “so doge,” “such meme”-narrate a silly, imagined interior monologue of the dog, which gushes with wonder. The digital coin attracted an online community, largely drawn to its sheer ridiculousness.”ĭogecoin is based on an old internet meme that became popular in 2013: Doge, an image of a quizzical Shiba Inu, overlaid with fragments of English in multicolored Comic Sans typeface. You have to go back to 2013 to understand the roots of the current craze.Īs my colleague Robert Hackett wrote earlier this year, “ Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency that was developed as a joke at the end of 2013. What’s the Shiba Inu/Dogecoin connection? Ryoshi, in the paper, says that the coin-along with the “Shiba Inu ecosystem” that includes the ShibSwap exchange and a decentralized Shib Army of developers, coin holders, and fans-was an experiment in “spontaneous community building.” Ryoshi says in the paper that Shiba Inu are “incredible dogs” and encourages people to donate to the Shiba Inu Rescue Association.

‘We have the ability to outpace the value of Dogecoin, exponentially, without ever crossing the $0.01 mark,’ the founder wrote in a SHIB ‘woofpaper,’ better known as a white paper.” And Ryoshi has heralded its minuscule worth. As my colleague Grady McGregor explained recently, “The SHIB coin was created in August 2020, but little is known about its founder, who goes by Ryoshi. Ryoshi has promoted the coin’s ‘Dogecoin killer’ nickname, arguing that SHIB’s technology is more ‘community-driven’ than its counterpart, which uses the Shiba Inu as its mascot.
