doge memes

It's been an interesting time for memes to say the least. Not only has Reddit managed to meme the stock market, but dogecoin (which started out as a joke nearly a decade ago) is making a huge comeback in the strange world of cryptocurrency. At first, dogecoin seemed to piggyback off viral meme stocks like GME and AMC, surging over 800% in just a day last week. The dust quickly settled and dogecoin stopped trending for a moment there, that is until Elon Musk posted a series of supportive tweets about dogecoin early yesterday. In no time, doge was back up 50%. The price of dogecoin has since settled to a new floor of $0.04, which is pretty remarkable if you consider the fact that the meme coin was worth about $0.008 just last week. There's no doubt that dogecoin is an extremely volatile crypto and throwing your money into it is much more akin to gambling than safely investing. It's pretty fun to watch from the sidelines though. You know, for the memes. 

To celebrate the unlikely rise of dogecoin, we've put together some some classic memes featuring everyone's favorite iconic yellow shiba. Such meme. Very funny.

If you've caught wind of the fact that not only GameStop, but now Dogecoin has gone totally viral, you may be asking yourself: is this a joke? The answer is yes and no. Dogecoin may have started out as a funny experiment, but some made thousands of dollars last night as the meme crypto exploded after going viral. Elon Musk even tweeted about it, which usually does wonders to increase the interest in a stock or crypto currency. The last time Dogecoin saw sudden growth was in 2018, but the surge didn't even compare to what we saw yesterday. Even now, the price of Dogecoin is much higher than it has been in the last several years. Will Doge fly to the moon? Only time (and memes) will tell. 

We've got 25 of the thousands of tweets about Dogecoin. The power of memes is undeniable.

When we first reported on the Swole Doge Vs. Cheems memes we'd be seeing around, we had no idea they'd have such an impressive longevity. The format gained popularity in mid-May, and almost a month later it's still going strong. It definitely helps that the template is so versatile. We've seen examples that cover everything from gamers and bronies to the police brutality issues that protesters are fighting against today. That versatility makes them super fun to peruse, and this gallery promises a ton of excellent iterations. Happy scrolling!

Memes may not be the answer to all of life's ills, but they're definitely pretty adept at solving one of our biggest issues: Boredom. When you're sad and listless? Look at memes. When you're sick of Netflix? Look at memes. When you're bored and watching Netflix? Yeah, that's a good time to look at memes. And we've got a ton of 'em here for you.

It's true: the good vs. bad comparitive format has been done a million times. But this one, featuring Swole Doge and goofy-looking Cheems somehow feels fresh, even though it's got a bit of a Virgin vs. Chad vibe going for it. The ironic Shiba Inu memes are being used to compare everything from international super powers in different time periods, to film directors such as Martin Scorcese and Quentin Tarantino. While serving up a hot take can be seen as low-effort meme creation, we think that these examples have a lot going for them. After all, almost any meme is better once you add Doge to the equation.
