Where Did The Dogecoin Dog Icon Come From?

Kabosu suddenly became famous globally when people saw this dog all over the mass media through the image of the virtual currency Dogecoin.

With the virtual currency world, Dogecoin is no longer a joke. This satirical cryptocurrency surged 800% in 24 hours on a late January day. At that time, billionaire Elon Musk happily helped the Reddit community fight Wall Street short sellers with a tweet, in return for this community together push Dogecoin 'to the moon'.

Dogecoin then continued to fly high, reaching a value of $0.45 in mid-April thanks to the support of Elon Musk, hit rapper Snoop Dogg, legendary bassist Gene Simmons before peaking at $0.73 at the beginning of the month. 5 with a record capitalization of $90 billion, ranking fourth in the entire crypto market at the time.

The name is named after a large round Japanese lemon variety. The female dog Shiba Inu was adopted by her at a dog shelter that closed in 2008 surrounded by many Kabosu lemon trees.

When the photo became famous, Atsuko Sato was interviewed to ask about the moment. Unfortunately, she doesn't remember anything. “It took me a while, it looked very strange. It was the Kabosu that I didn't recognize," she told reporters in 2013.

“To be honest, a lot of the pictures look weird to me but still very funny. I am quite impressed with the taste and skill of this breed. None of my neighbors know anything about this meme. I don't really understand memes myself, maybe because I live a life like them," she confessed.

According to Ms. Sato, the reason Kabosu can create such a moment of life is because it is so different from other Shiba Inu dogs. It is very gentle and calm, it also loves to be photographed.
