Two guys drinking in a pub when one suggested it to to the other and after they agreed to do it as a joke crypto they drafted in the third person who did the coding for them while they marked the meme. That was the story I was told.
DOGE has nothing to do with any other crypto, it was started as a joke between a group of friends and then transitioned in to something much bigger than they thought.
This isn't accurate.
Dogecoin was not started by a group of friends.
