As an analyst with a background in cryptocurrency and meme culture, I cannot help but feel a pang of sadness upon hearing the news of Kabuso’s passing. His image, a Shiba Inu dog with quirky eyes and expressive facial features, served as the inspiration for the creation of Dogecoin back in 2013.

As a crypto investor, I’m looking forward to bidding farewell to Kabo-chan this coming Sunday, May 26th. The event will take place at Flower Kaori in Kotsu no Mori, Narita City, between 1pm and 4pm.
