Kabosu, the Shiba Inu Dog that Inspired Dogecoin and Other Canine-themed Cryptocurrencies, Passes Away at Over 17 Years Old
The world of cryptocurrencies marks the end of an era with the passing of Kabosu, the famous Shiba Inu dog that inspired Dogecoin and other canine-themed memecoins.
Kabosu, who passed away early on Friday, was over 17 years old, a respectable age for her breed. Her face became synonymous with humor and irreverence in the crypto space, as it became the image of the viral phenomenon of Dogecoin.
An Farewell Ceremony for Kabosu
To honor her memory, a farewell event is being organized on Sunday, May 26th, from 1pm to 4pm. The event will take place at Flower Kaori Park, in the Kotsu no Mori neighborhood in Narita City. This farewell will provide an opportunity for those who have been touched by Kabosu to come together and celebrate her life and unexpected impact on the world of digital finance.
Kabosu’s Legacy in the Crypto Industry
The viral photo of Kabosu not only inspired the creation of Dogecoin in 2013 but also led to the development of a series of other canine-themed cryptocurrencies such as Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Floki (FLOKI).
What started as a joke quickly evolved into a major sector of the crypto industry, illustrating how a simple meme can trigger a series of events leading to innovations and entirely new communities, with DOGE currently retaining a market capitalization of $23 billion.
Kabosu has left her mark on the digital world, proving that behind every meme lies a lasting influence.
