In a recently published post on the X social media network, the Dogecoin team opposed the recent tweet by Michael Saylor in which he shared his Bitcoin vision, comparing BTC to chess.
The DOGE team seems to believe that Bitcoin is far from being similar to chess but rather looks like another popular game.

The Dogecoin account’s X post is a response to Michael Saylor’s bullish Bitcoin statement yesterday amid the BTC market uncertainty. On Wednesday, he published an AI-generated image of himself sitting at a chess board with chess pieces on it. The caption he gave to the image was short and concise: “Bitcoin is chess,” as if Saylor meant that he sees Bitcoin as a strategic and complex asset, handling which requires a lot of intelligence and patience.
The DOGE team, however, seems to disagree with the vocal Bitcoin evangelist on this definition and believes that Bitcoin can be described using a totally opposite game – “Hungry, hungry hippos.” The game is popular with children, suggesting that the Bitcoin market and trading are driven by frenzy and not so much by strategic thinking, as Saylor implies in his tweet.
This week, the world’s flagship cryptocurrency has shown volatile behavior. On Tuesday, it dropped 3.23%, then surged by 2.34% and dropped again on Jerome Powell’s statement. However, neither price decline went lower than $83,170. Currently, Bitcoin is changing hands at $83,486 after a less-than-2% recovery.
Yuri MolchanDogecoin and Twitter – 2-year "anniversary"
This April, it has been two years since the iconic meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin became the mascot of Twitter thanks to Elon Musk’s love for DOGE.
During the first week of April 2023, Twitter users were taken by surprise when they saw the Dogecoin logo instead of the traditional blue bird that had been the Twitter logo since its foundation, though the image of that bird has undergone various transformations.
The Dogecoin community decided that Elon Musk was finally integrating DOGE on Twitter for tipping, or perhaps even payments. The meme coin’s price surged by roughly 30%. However, that did not go any further, and a week later the blue bird was back, replacing Kabosu. After that, Twitter rebranded as X and the blue bird was gone for good, replaced by the logo with the X letter.
