Local Man Has No Money To His Name But Remembers That He Owns 5,000 Dogecoins So It's All Good

Provo, UT — According to sources, local man Alex Birkbeck eased his troubles for at least a little while after remembering that he owns 5,000 Dogecoin.

Alex had just finished praying for a financial miracle when a clear message came into his mind. "Relax, dude, you've got 5,000 Dogecoins. You're a billionaire."

"Oh, right," Alex said as he leaned back with a slack jaw and glassy stare. "5,000 Dogecoins. I'm loaded."

According to sources, Birkbeck's financial situation has been bleak since he lost his job and repo men took away his house and car. As he had no cash at all, he had been worrying about how to make his rent payment this month. But all of his troubles left him in an instant when he remembered his trove of Japan-based Shiba Inu cryptocurrency.

"I mean, Dogecoin started as a meme, right?" Birkbeck said. "So we'll just set a "Meme Of Me" world record and my coins will be worth a gazillion dollars again."

Sources say Birkbeck is now looking for a dog to take a picture of in case that idea doesn't pan out.
