Shiba Inu meme
Dogecoin (DOGE), a dog-themed cryptocurrency, debuted in late 2013 as a playful combination of internet culture and the burgeoning popularity of Bitcoin (BTC).
Dogecoin, founded by software programmers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, purposefully adopted the "Doge" meme, which features a Shiba Inu dog as its symbol.
Shiba Inu's iconography is also based on the Shiba Inu dog breed, with inspiration from Dogecoin's meme culture.
Both digital assets are inspired by the Shiba Inu dog and integrate the breed's iconography and cultural references, giving their branding and communities a playful spirit.
