COLON, a lesser-known memecoin, played a significant role in the establishment of popular memes like Doge. This article reviews its history and impact on today's crypto industry.

The Origin of COLON

COLON first appeared in Atsuko Sato's blog, the owner of the famous Kabosu dog, back in 2009. This event occurred four years before Doge became a meme and significantly earlier before it was turned into a token. The emergence of COLON marked a pivotal moment in meme history.

COLON's Impact on Meme Culture

COLON had a profound impact on meme culture as it became the foundation for the creation of tokens like Doge and other popular memecoins, including Shiba, Floki, and Kishu. "Every chart, every meme, every billion-dollar dog token... all trace back to Colon."

COLON's Blockchain Return

COLON returns on-chain not as a rival, but as an essential reminder that every meme has its origins. The new token $COLON continues this tradition, emphasizing the significance of the meme heritage.

COLON, originally introduced in 2009, serves as a reminder of the roots of meme culture and its evolution in the crypto industry. Its influence on Doge and subsequent tokens stands as proof of the importance of memes in the modern internet.
