Unfortunately people do not understand that at all. In fact, doge and shiba should have been staying lower than where they are right now as well, they do not deserve where they are. You can ask the very creator of doge and he will tell you that he developed it in 2 hours as a joke as well and people still buy it and think it is a good investment.
Shiba is opportunist few people getting together to use the name of the doge meme dog type, which is a shiba, and then they are hoping that it would do well enough. This is why they are useless and worthless, doge, shiba, ape, floki all of them are horrible and for some reason people do not realize that.
This is true, it is really just a shame that crypto world become such a joke in the world. Between the memecoins, and NFT world, and metaverse projects building stuff on top of roblox looking shitty graphics, we became a joke to the world.
I mean back in the day we were bitcoin, ethereum, decentralized finance, replacing banks, ignoring borders, becoming international and so many other things. Today? Lol look at the shiny nft I can showcase on my minecraft home!! That is the horrible stuff that we became just because of things like shiba, doge, ape and many other things like that. I feel ashamed when talking about how I am in crypto and people think I do those things.
