The term "Doge" in the context of Dogecoin refers to the popular internet meme featuring a Shiba Inu dog with colorful Comic Sans text captions. This meme became the symbol and mascot of Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency that was created based on the meme in 2013. The use of the term "Doge" and the image of the Shiba Inu helped to create a lighthearted and meme-friendly image for the cryptocurrency, distinguishing it from more serious and traditional digital currencies like Bitcoin.
