Memes, they are honestly the one thing right now that is holding our society together. I mean, there is literally nothing better than opening twitter after a big sports game, and seeing all the memes about what occurred in the game, or when Dogecoin is up a million percent, and is literally breaking twitter. I am not a maker of memes, but I am by all means a consumer of them. Twitter is currently the meme capital of the world right now, you can literally open up the platform, and there is a good chance that whatever is in the top 10 trending in the world will be flooded with memes. What is so interesting now is that posting memes is expanding from just the traditional form of people posting them. You are now seeing brands constantly posting memes on their platforms, in order to interact with the younger generation. Dogecoin for example, is an internet phenomenon at the moment, as it is a crypto currency that is taking the world by storm. It was essentially made as a joke in honor of the famous shiba dog meme. Well, the people have spoken, and some of the richest men in the world in Mark Cuban, and Elon Musk are now backing this coin. They believe that it has real world value, and it is no longer a joke. Brands that have no business being involved in Doge are getting in on the memes, as companies like Slim Jim, and Budweiser are constantly tweeting about this phenomenon. It is honestly brilliant marketing, as these companies are capitalizing off the massive online community that Doge has garnered. There are literally fan accounts with millions of followers, as this community is growing by the day. What is beautiful about Dogecoin is that memes are connecting people, and everyone is getting in on an experience that can last a lifetime. Who would have thought that a silly crypto currency, would now have a massive fan base, and be the fourth largest in the world by market cap. As comedy/memes grow more, and more offensive, it is beautiful to see such a positive online community like Doge continue to grow by the day.
