TOKYO, Japan — The Japanese dog whose photo inspired a generation of oddball online jokes and the Dogecoin cryptocurrency beloved by Elon Musk died on Friday, her owner said.
In 2010, two years after adopting Kabosu from a puppy mill where she would otherwise have been put down, Sato took a picture of her pet crossing her paws on the sofa. The picture also later became an NFT digital artwork that sold for $4 million and inspired Dogecoin, which was started as a joke by two software engineers and is now the eighth-most valuable cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $23 billion .
Dogecoin has also inspired a plethora of other cheap and highly volatile "memecoins," including spin-off Shiba Inu and others based on dogs, cats or Donald Trump. "In the last few years I've been able to connect the online version of Kabosu, all these unexpected things seen from a distance, with our real lives," she said.
