Dogecoin’s (DOGE) official X account added a crypto-themed twist to a classic Benjamin Franklin quote on Thursday, using the line “death, taxes and a giant DOGE” in a playful reference to tax payments.
The post was tied to an initiative in Japan that rewards tax payments with in-game cosmetics. As described in the Benzinga item, the joke framed the reward as something available when people pay their dues to the government, placing Dogecoin’s familiar meme identity alongside the traditional inevitability of taxes.
The wording keeps the tone associated with Dogecoin’s online community: it borrows the well-known “death and taxes” structure, then adds “a giant DOGE” as the punchline. The result connects a government tax-related initiative, gaming-style cosmetic rewards and the Dogecoin brand in one short social media joke.
