Dogecoin (DOGE) was created in 2013 as a joke. It has occasionally seen its price surge as a result of memes and Elon Musk pumping it.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) was created in mid-2020 as a lookalike cash grab on the then-surging Dogecoin. It was shilled heavily on Twitter and across social media. Ads attempted to confuse would-be investors looking to buy Dogecoin. For some reason or another it maintains a modest market cap.

The success of Shib spawned countless more lookalikes, eg. Baby Shiba Inu, etc.
