Big things rarely start in a boardroom.
They start with familiar faces, a standing time, and a fresh pot.
Pick your morning 🐾
Make it a recurring DuG event on dugs.app today!
And the king's ban?
The uproar got it withdrawn before it ever took effect.
Regulars are hard to stop.
In Orlando, Shibes turned it into a weekly Tuesday-morning coffee, set up as a recurring event ☕
The regulars built things.
Shipping men at Edward Lloyd's coffee house started what became Lloyd's of London.
Traders at Jonathan's helped start the London Stock Exchange.
Much caffeine. Very empire.
London got its first coffeehouse in 1652.
Within a few decades there were hundreds.
People called them penny universities: a penny for a cup, and the conversation came free.
Merchants, sailors and poets argued on the same benches.
Five years ago, in August 2021, Alex and Bill started brainstorming @MyDoge.
Now he says it's official: MyDoge is @dogecoin. Much journey. 🐾
And the first thing he reaches for is process.
Bitcoin settles its changes through public BIPs. Ethereum through EIPs.
Proposals written down, argued in the open, decided together.
Boring? Gloriously.
Boring is what lets a community outlive its loudest week.
Every pack learns this sooner or later, from the core devs to the smallest local meetup.
The drama fades when the rules are visible and nobody gets to decide alone.
We're building DuGs on that same instinct.
DuGs is an independent, open-source community project, built for @DogeOS.
Every DuGs fundraiser runs on its own smart contract, with its goal, end date and payout address set where the whole pack can see them.
And governance features are being built, so each DuG can make proposals, vote and shape its own future together.
Open source FTW, indeed. 🌕

DuGs just hit 1,000 followers 🐾🐕
This is a small milestone on a long road. We’re building DuGs for the long term: real people, real community, in real cities. We know crypto will shape our future and we’re here to build something that stands the test of time.
Together, we can turn Doge into the largest decentralized network in the world. Join DuGs today and put your city on the map... you never know who you might connect with!
Did you know?
There's a badge you can't pass along.
The Pioneer badge is an on-chain, soulbound-style NFT you mint on DogeOS.
It's meant to stay with whoever minted it.
No resale, no hand-me-downs 🐾
So the Pioneer badge is a small receipt for a big thing.
It says you were around while the culture was still being made.
So, here's to being early.🍺
Mint yours at dugs.app/pioneer-badges, and make the culture worth remembering 👀
Whoever said it first was onto something.
A plan can be copied in an afternoon.
Culture is what a group does again and again until it's simply who they are.
You can't download it, and you can't buy it secondhand.
Such stubborn. Wow.
There is a famous line:
"Culture eats strategy for breakfast."
It usually gets pinned on Peter Drucker.
Quote sleuths never found it in his writing, and the earliest trace points to a tech research firm's headline from 2000.
Culture apparently eats citations too.
Why build a badge nobody can sell?
Because it isn't really about the badge.
"You saw the path and chose to walk it."
That insight can't be bought or sold, and the badge can't be, either.
A smart contract is that same idea, written as code and run on a blockchain.
The rules are open for anyone to read. When the conditions are met, it does the thing.
No "the treat is in the mail."
Much relief.
Back in the 1990s, computer scientist Nick Szabo coined the term "smart contract."
His go-to example was a vending machine.
Coins in, snack out.
It doesn't care who you are or how your day went. It just keeps its word.
Franklin didn't wait for the city to fix itself. He booked a Friday.
What would your town's Shibes build first? 🐾
Start a DuG and pick your night on dugs.app
That's the pattern history keeps repeating: a small group, a regular night, a shared question.
A DuG is that same move for Dogecoin. Set a recurring meetup, put ideas up for a vote with proposals, and start a fundraiser when the pack spots a need.
