Vitalik Buterin Pays Tribute to Kabosu, the Doge Meme Inspiration
Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum (ETH), recently took to Twitter to pay tribute to Kabosu, the Shiba Inu that is the inspiration behind Dogecoin (DOGE). Buterin posted, “Rest in peace Kabochan,” along with a broken heart emoji. Kabosu, who was 15 years old, was the face of the popular Doge meme, which has been widely used online since 2013. The meme typically features a picture of Kabosu with the Comic Sans font superimposed on it, often with humorous or nonsensical phrases. Dogecoin, which was created in 2013 as a joke currency, has since become one of the most popular cryptocurrencies in the world. The coin has been adopted by a number of merchants and has even been used to fund charitable causes. Buterin's tribute to Kabosu highlights the impact that the Doge meme has had on popular culture. The meme has been used to spread joy and laughter, and it has also helped to raise awareness of cryptocurrency. Kabosu's legacy will live on through the Doge meme, which is sure to continue to be enjoyed by people around the world for years to come.
