Honoring the Iconic Dogecoin Sensation
The cryptocurrency world is no stranger to unique endeavors, and the Dogecoin NFT community is taking it to next level. This dedicated group, known for holding the original ‘doge’ meme, is collaborating with local authorities to commemorate Kabosu. The dog that inspired the iconic meme.
A Special Unveiling in Sakura
Mark your calendars for November 2nd, as Sakura, Japan, prepares to unveil a statue dedicated to Kabosu on her birthday. This heartwarming initiative is a joint effort between the community and the City of Sakura. The statue will find its home in Sakura Furusato Square. A place where Kabosu’s parent often takes her for walks.
Dogecoin: From Meme to Moon
Kabosu, the beloved Japanese Shiba Inu who served as the muse for the Doge meme and subsequently Dogecoin, has garnered a devoted following. Last year, fans rallied together to raise funds for the construction of the Kabosu statue. With dreams of someday placing it on the moon.
“We’ve been operating for over two years, bringing Doge to places she’s never been, including Hollywood, EDM bangers, and space. (The Doge NFT going on a SpaceX mission to the moon),” shared tridog of PleasrDAO, the community that owns the NFT. “Our goal is to become THE Doge gathering place online for all of the Doge and meme community,” they added.
Moreover the community has exciting plans for interactive events to celebrate this momentous occasion. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet Sato, the proud owner of Kabosu, and will receive certain privileges based on their NFT holdings.
More than Just Meme Lovers
PleasrDAO, a collective of NFT collectors known for acquiring high-priced NFTs and fostering communities. Including Own The Doge, has a profound perspective on DOGE. They see DOGE as an acronym for ‘Do Only Good Everyday’ and channel their crypto influence towards meaningful charitable contributions worldwide, with Own The Doge leading as the top crypto contributor to Save The Children.
A Glimpse into Kabosu’s Life
Own The Doge is not stopping at a statue; they are working on a documentary that will delve into Kabosu’s life and the meme’s meteoric rise. The iconic ‘doge’ meme came into existence when Atsuko Sato captured a picture of Kabosu for her blog in 2010. It gained viral status when John Monarch, the Reddit user who shared the photo, bestowed the name “doge” upon her. This marked the birth of a legendary meme, which eventually led to the creation of Dogecoin in 2013 and the emergence of various dog-themed tokens. Some with market capitalizations in the tens of billions of dollars during the peak of their popularity.
In conclusion, the Dogecoin NFT community’s dedication to honoring Kabosu, the original ‘doge,’ showcases the power of crypto enthusiasts coming together for a meaningful cause. As the statue prepares to grace Sakura, Japan, and their plans for the future, we can’t help but appreciate the heartwarming tale that started with a simple dog and a meme.
