About the Doge meme
The Doge meme is an internet meme based on an image of a Shiba Inu dog that became popular in the early 2010s. The main image of the meme is a photograph of the dog Kabosu taken by its owner. The meme became popular due to its unique style, in which the image of the dog is accompanied by colourful comic captions in broken English. These captions often consist of short phrases beginning with the words "such", "much", "many" and "very" and describe the dog's thoughts, such as "such wow", "much fun", "very skilled", "so amaze".
The meme originally appeared on Tumblr and Reddit, where users began actively sharing images of Doge with various captions. The meme quickly gained popularity. In 2013, the Doge meme peaked in popularity and its images began to be used in various contexts, from social media to advertising campaigns.
In late 2013, the Dogecoin cryptocurrency project was created and uses the Doge image as its logo. Originally created as a joke, Dogecoin quickly gained popularity and became one of the leading cryptocurrencies. The Dogecoin community actively uses Doge memes and culture for promotion and charitable initiatives.
