DOGE Founder Comments on Kabosu's Passing
DOGE 創辦人對 Kabosu 去世的評論
After gaining meme status in 2010, Kabosu inspired the creators of Dogecoin and became the mascot of this original meme crypto.
在 2010 年獲得 meme 地位後,Kabosu 啟發了狗狗幣的創造者,並成為了這個原始 meme 加密貨幣的吉祥物。
Markus, known on X as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, published a post depicting Kabosu conversing with Death, where the dog utters, "It's time to go." She inquires of Death if she "was a good girl," to which Death responds, "No. I'm told you were the best."
馬庫斯在 X 上被稱為 Shibetoshi Nakamoto,他發表了一篇帖子,描繪了 Kabosu 與死亡的對話,其中狗說:“是時候離開了。”她詢問死神她是否“是一個好女孩”,死神回答說:“不。我聽說你是最好的。”
The meme community rallied around Markus, posting memes of Kabosu and her reunion with Harambe, a gorilla who became a meme after his death in 2016.
迷因社區聚集在馬庫斯周圍,發布了卡博甦的迷因以及她與大猩猩哈蘭貝的重聚,哈蘭貝在 2016 年去世後成為了迷因。

Elon Musk's Influence on DOGE
伊隆馬斯克對 DOGE 的影響
Elon Musk, a staunch supporter of Dogecoin, also paid tribute to Kabosu in a tweet on Friday. DOGE and another popular meme coin, Shiba Inu (SHIB), experienced brief surges in response to the centibillionaire's tweet. Musk tweeted that Kabosu "ascended to heaven" to join Harambe, the gorilla who captured the hearts of the online community and became a meme in 2016 after a zoo employee was forced to shoot him after he grabbed a young boy who had entered his enclosure.
狗狗幣的堅定支持者伊隆馬斯克也在周五的推文中向卡博蘇致敬。 DOGE 和另一種流行的模因幣 Shiba Inu (SHIB) 因這位百億萬富翁的推文而經歷了短暫的飆升。馬斯克在推特上表示,卡博蘇“升到了天堂”,加入了哈蘭貝大猩猩的行列。一個梗,因為卡博蘇抓住了一名進入圍欄的小男孩,一名動物園工作人員被迫開槍射殺了它。
While DOGE initially emerged as a joke and a parody of Bitcoin (utilizing BTC code in its creation), over the past 7-8 years, the meme coin has gained recognition from Elon Musk. His support has provided significant momentum, promoting its adoption as a payment option and transforming it from a mere meme into a legitimate digital currency.
雖然DOGE 最初是作為比特幣的一個笑話和模仿出現的(在其創建過程中使用了BTC 代碼),但在過去的7-8 年裡,這種模因幣已經獲得了埃隆·馬斯克( Elon Musk) 的認可。他的支持提供了巨大的動力,促進了其作為一種支付選項的採用,並將其從單純的模因轉變為合法的數位貨幣。
Markus and Musk frequently engage in discussions on X, and Shibetoshi Nakamoto often endorses the X owner and his efforts to transform the former Twitter into the ultimate "everything app," X, incorporating the Grok AI chatbot.
馬庫斯和馬斯克經常參與有關 X 的討論,中本聰經常支持 X 的所有者以及他將前 Twitter 轉變為最終的“一切應用程序”X 的努力,其中包含了 Grok AI 聊天機器人。
