It was originally created as a parody of Bitcoin. The Doge community used to be mostly people making fun of crypto "investors".

It was fun when it was just pictures of dogs and not a coin

It was just a meme at first mostly making fun of Bitcoin. The community made a lot of funny content and really didn't take itself seriously. What it is now is a polar opposite of what it started as (including its creator)
