Kabosu

Shiba Inu

Kabosu, the Japanese Shiba Inu breed dog that became one of Reddit’s most enduring memes and the effigy for a Top 10 global cryptocurrency– Dogecoin (DOGE)–&nbsp; died on Friday at her home in Sakura, a city east of Tokyo, Japan, at the age of 18.
Imagine being able to invest in Dogecoin at the very start of the meme currency after its Dec. 2013 launch. There are probably hundreds and possibly over a thousand Dogecoin millionaires today <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/dogecoin-millionaires-increasing-investors-1m-193011513.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">according to</a> blockchain data reported by Yahoo Finance. Investors who missed the dog days of early adopter ROIs (returns on investment) are looking <a href="https://kaicat.xyz/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">at cat memes in 2024</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="rip-to-dogecoin-s-mascot-kabosu">RIP To Dogecoin’s Mascot Kabosu</h2>
Kabosu’s owner, Atsuko Sato, wrote a note on social media <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/05/kabosu-doge-dead-1235938063/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announcing</a> the beloved Shiba Inu’s peaceful death at home surrounded by family:
“To all of you who loved Kabosu, On the morning of the 24th of May, Kabosu crossed the rainbow bridge. Thank you all so much for your support over the years. She went very peacefully without suffering, as if falling asleep while feeling the warmth of my hands petting her.”
Proving once again the unstoppable power of <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://captainaltcoin.com/meme-coins/" title="meme" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">meme</a> coins in the 21st Century, the death of Kabosu got more attention from the mainstream media Friday than the death last November of former U.S. First Lady Rosalynn Carter, the wife of former President Jimmy Carter.
In fact, if you Google “Rosalynn Carter,” you’ll find the search engine tabulates some 17.7 million web results for her (in 0.32 seconds!). But if you query for “Kabosu,” not even “Doge,” or “Dogecoin,” but the actual proper first name of the individual <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://captainaltcoin.com/shiba-inu-price-prediction/" title="Shiba Inu" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Shiba Inu</a> dog whose picture inspired the original Doge meme and grace DOGE currency– there are 33.4 million results.
So famous, very much mainstream!
That’s how powerful meme currency is and how important the meme community is that brought Kabosu into the mainstream and Dogecurrency as well as all meme coins into a multi-billion dollar market capitalization as a thriving new industry of DIY financial services over the peer-to-peer network. The Internet rules the world and memes rule the Internet.

Investors take note– Dogecoin is the 8th largest Web3 blockchain cryptocurrency in the world by total market capitalization. It has only existed since Dec. 6, 2013, when it first launched as a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain. So it’s less than ten years old. But in dog years, that’s 70 years old, and in Internet years, the project is ancient to still be around and with such clout!
The death of Kabosu brought on a storm of media headlines that noted the adorable doggy’s connection to meme cryptocurrency. “The Shiba Inu that became meme famous as the face of dogecoin has died. Kabosu was 18,” <a href="https://apnews.com/article/dogecoin-dog-kabosu-shiba-inu-cryptocurrency-0c51b88ae457dd6eb61b05c7e87174d9#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">headlined</a> the Associated Press. “Kabuso’s image was soon being shared by traders, celebrities and even members of Congress,” the AP reported.
“In 2022, Elon Musk briefly replaced X’s logo of a blue bird with an image of Kabosu,” Fox Business <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/kabosu-face-cryptocurrency-dogecoin-dies-18-owner-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported</a>. FBN passed along a good word from the Dogecoin project headquarters on X, “The impact this one dog has made across the world is immeasurable.”
Dogecoin is already world famous and mainstream. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, one of the most famous people in the world, regularly flogs it to his X audience. Tons of famous celebrities already pumped doge in the last crypto super-cycle in 2021. Many crypto analysts believe the dog days are over. But new cat coins like PopCat are going clawing at the sky.
One project that has raised an astounding $330,000 in a few short days in May from a small number of wealthy blockchain— er— <a href="https://academy.synfutures.com/shrimps-to-humpbacks-understanding-the-crypto-hierarchy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">whales, sharks, dolphins??</a>— we can’t be sure– but we do know they are tying up some serious big money in this project— is Kai Cat Coin (KAI). It is currently in pre-sale for just a hair over $0.0042 per token.
