In 2013, two coders set out to create a joke cryptocurrency coin based on a popular internet meme. The coin quickly gained a cult following as people began to view it as a viable cryptocurrency, mining and trading it up to its current market cap of over $85 billion as of August 2021. Along the way, popular figures in the business world, namely Elon Musk, have played a major role in the ascension of the coin to the forefront of popular culture.
