Elon hosted SNL that month, called Dogecoin "a hustle" on live TV, and the price dropped 30% before the credits rolled. Kabosu, the dog in the meme, died May 2024. The internet held a vigil. 🕯️ Here's what's strange: Dogecoin had no utility pitch, no whitepaper promises. Hundreds of projects launched that year with both. Most are gone. In 2025 alone, over 2 million tokens launched — 97% dead within months. One meme coin from 2013 is still trading. Community capital is the scarcest asset in crypto.
