Categorizing DOGE as a meme coin is clearly a reflection of a lack of understanding and historical knowledge about the development of cryptocurrency.

Even more ridiculous is the fact that some people believe that Doge, Shiba, and Pepe belong to the same category. What they don't realize is that Dogecoin is mined with mining machines, while Shitcoin (meme) is generated with a single click. No wonder retail investors lose money.

There are also those who confidently claim that exchanges categorize Dogecoin as a meme coin. Exchanges are profit-driven institutions operating in a gray area, and it sounds as if these makeshift exchanges are somehow authoritative. It's finally clear why online scams still have a market.

The following is a quote from grok's inquiry:

【Before 2021, there was no literature or community that explicitly used the term "meme coin" to describe cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin. Although Dogecoin was created in 2013 and became well-known for its humorous nature based on the "Doge" meme, it was more often regarded as a "joke coin" or "altcoin" at that time.

Between 2013 and 2020, the crypto community (such as Bitcointalk and Reddit's r/cryptocurrency) might have referred to tokens like Dogecoin as "joke coins" or "fun coins." The English term "meme coin" may have been mentioned in a limited context, but it lacked widespread recognition and had not formed the popular concept it has today.

By examining historical data, such as Google Trends, it can be seen that the search volume for the term "meme coin" was almost zero before 2020, only starting to rise significantly in early 2021 (especially during the Dogecoin and Shiba Inu craze). This supports your assertion that the term "meme coin" was not widely used before 2021.】
