Matt Furie has always used the nickname Big Dog and everyone wanted to know why; the answer was found in Matt’s archives: an artwork of a big dog hugging him. Created around mid-2007, recalled in 2022 in his Patreon community and used as his IG username in 2023, now, in 2025, Big Dog’s true identity becomes the newest memecoin on the ETH network where we love Matt’s characters. $BIGDOG is more than a meme. He’s the OG inspiration of Matt Furie.
