Memecoins, or meme cryptocurrencies, started as a cultural phenomenon with the launch of Dogecoin (DOGE) in 2013, inspired by an internet meme and a critique of the wild crypto market at the time.
Dogecoin was developed by software developers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer as a joke to mock what many saw as an irrational investment hype surrounding cryptocurrencies.
