DOGE Founder Comments on Kabosu's Passing

DOGE 创始人对 Kabosu 去世的评论

After gaining meme status in 2010, Kabosu inspired the creators of Dogecoin and became the mascot of this original meme crypto.

在 2010 年获得 meme 地位后，Kabosu 启发了狗狗币的创造者，并成为了这个原始 meme 加密货币的吉祥物。

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."

马库斯在 X 上被称为 Shibetoshi Nakamoto，他发表了一篇帖子，描绘了 Kabosu 与死亡的对话，其中狗说：“是时候离开了。”她询问死神她是否“是一个好女孩”，死神回答说：“不。我听说你是最好的。”

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.

迷因社区聚集在马库斯周围，发布了卡博苏的迷因以及她与大猩猩哈兰贝的重聚，哈兰贝在 2016 年去世后成为了迷因。

Kabosu passed away on Friday in Japan at the age of 19. Atsuko Sato, the dog's owner, shared the somber news on her blog. The official Dogecoin account on X shared her post with the meme coin community.

Kabosu 于周五在日本去世，享年 19 岁。狗的主人 Atsuko Sato 在她的博客上分享了这个悲痛的消息。 X 上的狗狗币官方账户与 meme coin 社区分享了她的帖子。

Elon Musk's Influence on DOGE

埃隆·马斯克对 DOGE 的影响

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.

狗狗币的坚定支持者埃隆·马斯克也在周五的一条推文中向卡博苏致敬。 DOGE 和另一种流行的模因币 Shiba Inu (SHIB) 因这位百亿富翁的推文而经历了短暂的飙升。马斯克在推特上表示，卡博苏“升到了天堂”，加入了哈兰贝大猩猩的行列。哈兰贝是一只大猩猩，它俘获了网络社区的心，并在 2016 年成为了一个梗，因为卡博苏抓住了一名进入围栏的小男孩，一名动物园工作人员被迫开枪射杀了它。

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.

虽然 DOGE 最初是作为比特币的一个笑话和模仿出现的（在其创建过程中使用了 BTC 代码），但在过去的 7-8 年里，这种模因币已经获得了埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 的认可。他的支持提供了巨大的动力，促进了其作为一种支付选项的采用，并将其从单纯的模因转变为合法的数字货币。

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.

马库斯和马斯克经常参与有关 X 的讨论，中本聪经常支持 X 的所有者以及他将前 Twitter 转变为最终的“一切应用程序”X 的努力，其中包含了 Grok AI 聊天机器人。
