Dogecoin, that erstwhile jester of the cryptocurrency realm, has been thrust back into the spotlight by Revolut’s latest venture: a physical card adorned with the visage of a Shiba Inu, its LED display blinking like the eyes of a fortune-teller promising riches. This contraption, they claim, is a marvel-allowing users to spend their DOGE holdings at any Visa or Mastercard-accepting establishment, though merchants remain blissfully unaware of the coin’s existence, receiving only cold, sterile fiat in return. A triumph of marketing, perhaps, but a tragedy of substance.

According to the ever-vigilant ChainCatcher, @0x_Lucas, a modern-day Cassandra, laments the alleged evisceration of Bankless’s team, a bloodletting executed with the subtlety of a guillotine at midnight.
