World-Famous Shiba Inu Behind 'Doge' Meme Passes Away; Dogecoin Honors with Tribute and Limited Edition NFT Collection

Remembering Kabosu: The Internet's Beloved Shiba Inu

In a touching tribute to the world-famous Shiba Inu known as Kabosu, the beloved dog behind the iconic 'Doge' meme, the internet mourns her passing. Kabosu, who captured the hearts of millions with her expressive face and endearing demeanor, left an indelible mark on pop culture and the digital world.

The Rise of Doge: From Meme to Cryptocurrency Phenomenon

Kabosu's journey to fame began in 2010 when her owner, Atsuko Sato, posted a series of photos on her blog. One image, in particular, stood out: Kabosu sitting with her paws crossed, gazing at the camera with a slightly raised eyebrow, which quickly became the face of the 'Doge' meme. The meme, characterized by its distinctive Comic Sans text featuring phrases like "such wow" and "much amaze," spread rapidly across social media platforms, becoming a global sensation.

The 'Doge' meme's popularity took an unexpected turn in 2013 when it inspired the creation of Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency initially launched as a joke. Despite its humorous origins, Dogecoin garnered a substantial following, propelled by its active community and high-profile endorsements, most notably from Elon Musk. Over time, Dogecoin evolved into a legitimate digital currency, achieving significant market capitalization and being used for various charitable initiatives and tipping online.
