Dogecoin vs Reddit — memecoin born on the internet vs the internet's front page. Market cap comparison post-IPO.
Reddit IPO'd in 2024 at ~$6.4B valuation; market cap has since ranged $15B-$40B. Dogecoin's market cap ($15B-$60B) regularly exceeds Reddit's. The comparison is fitting — DOGE's community behavior (raids, concerted buying, meme coordination) is essentially Reddit culture applied to a financial asset. Reddit has real revenue ($800M+ annual) via ads + Reddit Premium; DOGE has none. Both are attention-driven network effects but with different monetization. Reddit's IPO marked a major legitimization of community-driven internet businesses; DOGE's persistence validates attention as monetary premium. Low-moderate correlation (0.2-0.4).
