A review of the three most legendary viral memes in internet history. Doge is definitely the number one—this Shiba Inu not only ushered in the era of animal memes but also directly spawned Dogecoin, becoming a cultural symbol in the crypto world. Next is Wojak, whose meme vitality is unbeatable; from forums to social media to trading communities, it has been used year after year to express market sentiment and poke fun at traders' mindsets, spanning all platforms and eras. Lastly, Harambe—an animal's passing unexpectedly sparked a massive cultural movement, showcasing a community cohesion that is unparalleled in internet history. The evolution of these three memes essentially reflects the collective memory and creative DNA of online communities.

That year I was there, watching the Shiba Inu go from a meme to real gold and silver. Thinking back now, it still feels a bit magical.

Wow, Wojak really is a perpetual motion machine. Every bear market, it can be seen bouncing around lively.

I've been into Doge since that year, still playing with Dogecoin now. Memes are culture. Wojak is truly amazing; every bear market, you see it painfully expressing our mindset. I still remember the Harambe incident; it's the ceiling of online cohesion. Connecting these three memes is the evolution story of the crypto world—absurd yet real. Honestly, Doge is eternal; all other memes are derivatives of it. Every trader is a creator of this meme, haha.

Doge is really the eternal god, I got into the circle back then because of this dog haha That Wojak meme is indeed awesome, you can see all kinds of meltdown versions during every bear market, it's so satisfying I really didn't expect Harambe, but indeed the power of the community is invincible The leap from Doge to Dogecoin, now that's true cultural monetization, brother All three memes are amazing, it feels like crypto has no soul without them

doge fundamentally exposed protocol governance's fragility—funny dog meme became actual monetary system. that's the real vulnerability nobody talks about

ngl doge's gas optimization through meme-to-token conversion was genuinely alpha. wojak though? that's just basis points of emotional volatility wrapped in a drawing lmao

Hey wait, can Wojak really compare to Doge? All I see every day are crying face memes, but Doge is truly a cultural export. --- Harambe was still underground when I first started, only after watching review videos did I realize what true collective resonance means. --- Honestly, Dogecoin is the most outrageous; a meme coin that has persisted until now. Who would have thought in 2013? --- The Wojak community is indeed crazy, able to turn psychological meme building into an art form, they really have something. --- But putting these three together still feels a bit lacking; the true top-tier ones are probably early Grass Porridge... Never mind, I won't mention it. --- Doge is forever the god, no matter how popular other memes get, they are just internet phenomena. It directly changed the narrative of the crypto world.

Missing Wojak, that's really the spiritual totem for us traders --- Doge is forever the god, from internet meme to on-chain asset comeback --- That wave of Harambe was truly epic, a top-tier display of online cohesion --- Honestly, Wojak better represents the mental state of this circle than Doge --- All three are living fossils of internet evolution, looking a bit nostalgic --- Doge changed everything, but Wojak makes us face losses with a smile --- That incident with Harambe truly changed a generation's understanding of the internet --- The Wojak meme is really a life-force monster, revitalizing every bear market --- This is a testament to the generational shift in internet culture --- The most brilliant thing about Doge is that it has become real; other memes probably can't do that
