The meme was put up for <a href="https://zora.co/0x337071a7e907f5a599747a2c9baf6efdf7eb4bcc/3366">auction on Tuesday on the auction site Zora</a>, and the winner, @pleasrdao, was named on Friday with a bid of 1,696.9 Ethereum cryptocurrency, which is worth about $4 million.The meme was sold by Atsuko Sato, the owner of the eponymous "Doge.""Doge" emerged online in 2013 as a meme using overlaid Comic Sans text to describe the dog's fictional inner monologue. It quickly became one of the internet's most ubiquitous images, with others sharing the meme with their own spins on the dog's internal monologue.Text used over the "Doge" meme typically <a href="https://the-toast.net/2014/02/06/linguist-explains-grammar-doge-wow/">uses an improper modification structure,</a> crafting phrases like "much hungry" or "very NFT."After the meme became popular in 2013, two software engineers created a cryptocurrency called Dogecoin as a joke in the meme's honor. But, <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/dogecoin-started-as-a-joke-now-its-too-important-to-laugh-off-51620229273">as Barron's reported in May</a> of this year, the crypto is "too important to laugh off." "Doge" joins the ranks of several other memes and viral videos whose creators have cashed in on fame through NFT sales.In April, the <a href="https://www.insider.com/disaster-girl-made-half-million-selling-her-meme-as-nft-2021-4">"Disaster Girl" meme</a>, a 2005 photo that became one of the most famous memes on the early internet, was sold as an NFT for nearly half a million dollars. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ethereum-nft-meme-art-nyan-cat-sells-for-300-eth-2021-2">The Nyan cat gif was sold as an NFT</a> for close to $600,000 in February. Other viral images like <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bad-luck-brian-meme-nft-crypto-art-blockchain-ethereum-foundation-2021-3">"Bad Luck Brian"</a> have sold for tens of thousands of dollars. NFT sales are helping some online creators finally earn additional money off of their famous content. The creator of the "David After Dentist" YouTube video from 2009, which depicts a boy experiencing the side effects of medication after a dental procedure, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nft-david-after-dentist-viral-youtube-video-sold-2021-5">told Insider he would use the money</a> from that video's NFT sale to help finish paying off his two sons' college tuitions. Chris Crocker, an entertainer whose famous 2007 "Leave Britney Alone" video sold for over $41,000 in April to an anonymous buyer, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chris-crocker-leave-britney-alone-video-youtube-nft-free-britney-2021-4">told Insider in a previous interview</a> that the video, which defined his online persona, made him no money at all. "I didn't really get anything from [the video] other than to be put in a box for the next 14 years," Crocker told Insider.

What's that in its mouth? Oh, it's got a cobra? Oh, it runs backwards?"But in the decade since, the video has been mostly remembered for one iconic line: "Honey Badger don't care. It just takes what it wants." Gordon told Insider that he created the video in 2011 and posted it to YouTube as a birthday gift for his friend. That friend died in March of this year, Gordon said, so he decided to sell the video along with the trademark to the phrase "Honey Badger Don't Care" (he obtained trademarks for the phrase in 2012, according to US Patent and Trademark Office records, and <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/08/01/honey-badger-may-not-care-but-the-creative-genius-who-took-him-viral-just-won-a-big-victory/">went to court to fight others</a> trying to capitalize on the video's success) as a way to "move on" after the death. "I'm 10 years removed from posting a video, it has over 97 million views, the person I made the video for passed away and I felt the time was right," he told Insider of his decision to sell the footage as an NFT.<h2>The 'Honey Badger' NFT was auctioned alongside other viral videos</h2>Gordon said NetGems, an agency working with viral creators to sell their videos as NFTs, reached out to him in April and offered to help him put the video up for auction. The auction began on June 2 with two other viral videos also available for bidding: the viral "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nft-i-aint-never-seen-two-pretty-best-friends-tiktok-2021-5">I ain't never seen two pretty best friends</a>" TikTok video from 2020 and the 2004 pre-YouTube video hit, "Numa Numa."<div type="image" title="Jordan Scott's &quot;I ain't never seen two pretty best friends&quot; video" height="1612" width="2860" msid="83723393" hostid="261"></div>A NetGems representative did not disclose the final sale price of the "Honey Badger" NFT, but said the company was working with "private buyers." "Numa Numa" was a 98-second video of Gary Brolsma lip-syncing and bouncing along to a 2004 Moldovian pop song called "Dragostea Din Tei." The video was posted to Newgrounds, a pre-YouTube-era video site, in 2004. The "Numa Numa" video, as it came to be known, became a <a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/numa-numa/videos">major online meme</a>.<h2>The 'Honey Badger' creator joins the growing viral-video-to-NFT pipeline</h2>The creators of the "Numa Numa" and "Honey Badger" videos are part of a large swath of content creators who have already sold their videos as NFTs.Creators like the family behind the "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/charlie-bit-my-finger-viral-video-sold-for-over-760000-nft-2021-5">Charlie Bit My Finger</a>" video and Chris Torres, creator of the "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ethereum-nft-meme-art-nyan-cat-sells-for-300-eth-2021-2">Nyan Cat</a>" gif, have each made more than half a million dollars - over $760,000 and $590,000, respectively.The "Doge" meme, a photo of a Shiba Inu that became one of the biggest memes of the last decade, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/doge-meme-nft-sells-for-4-million-at-auction-2021-6">earned a record-breaking $4 million in its sale as an NFT.</a><div type="image" title="Doge" height="1875" width="2500" msid="83723397" hostid="261"></div>Gordon, the "Honey Badger" creator, told Insider that he intended to remove the video from YouTube to give the NFT more value after the final sale. Jordan Scott, the creator of the "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nft-i-aint-never-seen-two-pretty-best-friends-tiktok-2021-5">Two Pretty Best Friends</a>" TikTok, said he planned to do the same.Gordon said he planned to use money from the <keyword id="11219799" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="nft-sale">NFT sale</keyword> to put money away money for his two children and donate a portion of the money to Animals Asia, a nonprofit organization based in Hong Kong working to protect animals across the continent.

10 things you need to know before the opening bell

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Crypto collectives known as <keyword id="12539572" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="daos" source="Orion">DAOs</keyword> are buying up expensive items and figuring out what to do next.</li><li>One DAO's plans changed after it bought a famed "<keyword id="11975656" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="dune" source="Orion">Dune</keyword>" guidebook and ran into copyright issues.</li><li>As the tools behind DAOs evolve, so will their capabilities, said Robbie Heeger, CEO of Endaoment.</li></ul>Those crypto collectives called DAOs are buying up stuff. Expensive stuff.Take the one-of-a-kind <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/wu-tang-clan-once-upon-a-time-in-shaolin-sold-pleasrdao-2021-10">Wu Tang Clan album</a> and the famed "Dune Bible," for example. One DAO even tried to buy a copy of the US Constitution and lost. Another has set its sights on a <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/kraken-house-dao-wants-nba-team-has-raised-ethereum-2021-11">professional basketball team</a>, and yet another on a <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/linksdao-nft-prices-roughly-steph-curry-golf-course-ether-crypto-2022-1">golf course</a>.But the question remains: What does a DAO do with this stuff once it buys it? The answer is often something akin to a shoot-first-ask-questions-later strategy.<a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/what-is-a-dao-constitutiondao-bid-sothebys-us-constitution-auction-2021-11">By definition</a>, a DAO, short for a decentralized autonomous organization, is simply a horde of internet friends pooling resources, usually money in the form of cryptocurrency, for a common goal. The online community generally forms on Discord or Twitter and establishes its rules through a <keyword id="11902216" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="blockchain" source="Orion">blockchain</keyword>, the same technology that backs <keyword id="11895317" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="cryptocurrencies" source="Orion">cryptocurrencies</keyword>. "These DAOs are just people organizing capital together, and then they have to fill in the blanks about what the purpose is of what they're buying," said Robbie Heeger, the president and chief executive officer of Endaoment, a nonprofit focused on assisting DAOs. These crypto collectives became popular when one pooled millions of dollars in an attempt to purchase a rare copy of the US Constitution. The DAO, however, came up short and lost the auction to hedge-fund billionaire <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/ken-griffin-us-constitution-outbid-crypto-group-constitutiondao-43-million-2021-11">Ken Griffin</a>.Others have been more successful at auction.The SpiceDAO, for example, eventually won ownership of the <a href="https://africa.businessinsider.com/markets/a-dao-that-wants-to-own-the-dune-bible-has-to-buy-it-back-from-its-founder-after-he/f56lbgn">$3 million "Dune Bible</a>," a decades-old compilation of director Alejandro Jodorowsky's written plans for an ill-fated 10- to 15-hour film based on the "Dune" book series. The DAO announced plans for an original series based on the guidebook but soon received blowback on Twitter and in media outlets like <a href="https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/books/a38815538/dune-crypto-nft-sale-mistake-explained/">Esquire</a>, which noted the group doesn't own the copyrights to do that, just the physical item. <a href="https://medium.com/@spicedao/development-on-the-original-animation-has-begun-7879d785d013">In a Medium post</a>, the DAO said it couldn't reach an agreement with any of the rights holders and instead planned to pivot to creating an original piece of work."There's sometimes this moment for these DAOs where they build energy, and they gather a lot of people, and they gather a lot of capital, and then the rubber meets the road on how do they exist in the real world, or how do they execute on those goals," Heeger said.Another crypto collective called PleasrDAO has dedicated itself to buying up digital art known as <keyword id="11901075" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="nfts" source="Orion">NFTs</keyword>, like the famed doge meme. Then last year, the collective bid $4 million to win the auction for the Wu-Tang Clan's <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/rza-does-not-regret-once-upon-a-time-in-shaolin-album-bought-by-martin-shkreli-2019-5?utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">one-of-a-kind album</a>, once owned by the infamous "pharma bro" Martin Shkreli.A DAO owning valuable items for price appreciation, Heeger said, is "enough of a reason to exist."He noted, however, that crypto collectives are in still in their earliest iterations. Simply stated, there's still a lot to figure out about DAOs. "As the tooling becomes more robust, these groups of people that make up a DAO will have more capability to do more with the assets that are controlled by the DAO, and that's what's exciting coming forward," Heeger said. "What we have right now is the simplest execution. We have to buy up some stuff and hold it and maybe earn some interest on it."DAOs, like other digital assets including cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens, are just beginning to bud. For example, <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/video/daos-taking-over-wyoming-law-194516224.html">Wyoming passed</a> crypto legislation last year that recognized DAOs as limited liability corporations, or LLCs, giving them certain tax advantages and legal protections."The possibilities are limitless," Heeger said. "If you can buy it, you could buy it with a DAO."

As DAOs purchase items like the 'Dune Bible' and a Wu-Tang Clan album, strategist says they'll gain more capabilities as crypto pools evolve beyond collecting valuable assets
