DogeCoin Logo Appears on New Government Website
A screenshot that is currently making the rounds on Twitter is causing jokes in the crypto scene: the DOGE logo can be seen on the website of a UK government agency. There, however, a serious purpose is pursued.
Is there a secret DOGE fan working among the developers building the new website for the UK Government Economics Service (GES)? Or did someone slip up so badly that DOGE found its way into the web presence? These are the questions being asked right now in the crypto scene, as a screenshot of the new GES website is making the rounds on social media.
The new GES website is actually supposed to launch publicly in early 2024, but preliminary versions can already be accessed. The site is primarily about job and career advice for economists. But at a central point, the DOGE logo suddenly jumps forward, where instead a G for the GES would fit. The mistake is quickly generating jokes, comparisons, and speculation on platforms like Twitter. Some people believe that this is a controlled media campaign in disguise and thus a clever preview before the actual launch.
DOGE, as a meme coin, stands for a certain level of cheerfulness and irreverence in the crypto world, and those familiar with the background also know the attitude behind it. Some users naturally see the ironic fit when they see DOGE now embedded in the public website of a government agency. Meanwhile, it remains unclear whether and how long it will take until the 1-to-1 replacement of the DOGE logo with a correct GES graphic becomes apparent.
Memes are powerful instruments in social media, and DOGE has benefited from this time and again. After the Twitter acquisition by multimillionaire Elon Musk, who has long made no secret of his declared passion for DOGE, the DOGE logo is sometimes also seen on Twitter. The whole history of the meme coin DOGE is a sequence of almost improbable events, started in 2013 as a satire on the crypto industry, DOGE redefined itself by riding unprecedented wave of popularity curves.
In fact, the importance of the precise connection of such an “accident” should not be exaggerated. DOGE has been following the untiring efforts for serious partnerships and real-life applications alongside its entertainment factor. But it is certainly true that you can smile heartily at the amount of memes and playful responses.
But if one finds serious intentions behind the surprising appearance of DOGE on the GES website, these remain hidden for the time being. Until further notice, people in the UK continue preparing the website for public use, with some of their developers perhaps also silently sharing laughter in the background about the almost miracle-like resurgence of the initial imagery associated with an upcoming renewal.
