'Doge,' the image of an excited-looking Shiba Inu considered one of the internet's most iconic and renown memes, has sold as an NFT, for roughly $4M, making it the most expensive meme NFT of all time.

Kalhan Rosenblatt

"We're so happy to be a part of this milestone in internet history. If any meme deserved to be the new meme NFT record holder, it's Doge," said Don Caldwell, editor-in-chief of the internet meme database Know Your Meme, which certified Doge ahead of the auction to ensure that the meme was being sold by its rightful owner.

A bidding war for the meme broke out on Zora, where Doge was being auctioned, between users @twodollahotdoge and @pleasrdao on Friday afternoon, driving up the price until @pleasrdao prevailed with the winning bid.The term"Doge" stems from the Flash cartoon"Homestar Runner." In a 2005 episode, the titular character Homestar calls another character his"D-O-G-E.

🤣 too bad doge is not worth anything

I hope whomever was stupid enough to buy it loses their ass in the market. I love real art, but this isn't art, it's insanity.
