Dogecoin’s official X account used a playful take on a classic Benjamin Franklin quote on Thursday, reshaping the familiar idea of “death and taxes” into a crypto-flavored line about “Death, Taxes And A Giant DOGE.” The post referred to Japan’s initiative that rewards tax payments with in-game cosmetics, linking a formal government-related payment theme with the meme-driven language long associated with Dogecoin.
According to Benzinga, the Japan-related initiative centers on rewarding tax payments through cosmetic items inside a game environment. Dogecoin’s account responded by turning the well-known quote into a social media joke, placing DOGE alongside death and taxes as something treated as guaranteed in the phrasing of the post. The item did not describe a price move, trading update, or technical development for Dogecoin.
The post fits Dogecoin’s public-facing style on X, where the project’s account often leans into short, humorous messages tied to internet culture. In this case, the subject was not a market announcement but a reaction to a tax-payment reward concept in Japan, with the official account using the “giant DOGE” line to connect the story back to the token’s meme identity.
