Lauren Goode: Ooh, what was that appreciate?
Michael Calore: It was appreciate 18 hours.
Lauren Goode: Wow. You were beginant in the broligarchy.
Zoë Schiffer: I joined to it because you were talking about it, and I was appreciate… And it’s relevant for our conversation today, but damn, was it prolonged?

We are talking about DOGE today, and no, not the meme coin.
Zoë Schiffer: Although the meme coin is relevant here, because that is the huge joke. That’s why they chose this acronym. So fair to give a little background on what that even uncomardents, meme coins are a type of cryptocurrency that are based off of a joke. It’s appreciate almost making fun of cryptocurrency itself. So Dogecoin is one that Elon Musk has advertised for a prolonged time now. There are others appreciate BONK and FLOKI that I skinnyk are named after his dog, Floki, not BONK. They actupartner are a type of crypto, but they’re based off of an internet joke.
