As a result, Dogecoin became the first “meme coin.”
Kabosu , a cherished Shiba Inu dog, was mostly responsible for the meme’s popularity.
Kabosu has her own Instagram account created by her owner, Atsuko Sato. The pooch recently celebrated its 17th birthday on November 2. The social media account’s photo has garnered more than 55,000 likes.
Kabosu’s stardom in the crypto world drew the attention of Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, who visited him and Sato in their Tokyo apartment in 2018.

The typical lifespan of a Shiba Inu is between 13 and 16 years, which is significantly longer compared to many larger dog breeds.
At 17, Kabosu is an aging dog. According to a tweet shared by Sato, the dog is currently suffering from a serious health condition.
In a translated Tweet, Sato, a Japanese kindergarten teacher, reassured her social media followers that she will be “fine” and that she is “receiving strength from all around the world” from her fans.
