The Doge Meme Dog Turns 16 This Year (6 pics)
While many of us know Kabosu from the doge meme, a lot of people might know her better as the face of Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, two cryptocurrencies that are now worth over $70 billion, along with countless others.
And while Kabosu’s face is a money-maker for sure, Elon Musk has played a big role in the cryptocurrencies’ rise. Dogecoin currently has a market cap of $35 billion alone thanks to Musk’s promotion of it. And Shiba Inu, which was inspired by Dogecoin, has surpassed its inspiration’s market cap in an even shorter amount of time.
The money-making doesn’t stop there. Earlier this year Kabosu’s owner auctioned off the meme as an NFT. The auction prompted a bidding war and ended up selling for over $4 million.
