Vitalik Buterin 向 Kabosu 致敬

Buterin tweeted, "Rest in peace Kabochan," in response to a tweet from Kabosu's owner, Atsuko Sato (@kabosumama), announcing the Shiba Inu's passing at the age of 19. In 2010, Kabosu gained fame after her photos went viral online. In 2013, inspired by the Doge meme, Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer created the first meme cryptocurrency, Dogecoin (DOGE). Kabosu became the DOGE mascot and soared in popularity alongside the rapidly growing Dogecoin community.

Buterin 发推文称“Kabochan 安息吧”，回应 Kabosu 的主人 Atsuko Sato (@kabosumama) 发布的推文，宣布柴犬于 19 岁时去世。2010 年，Kabosu 的照片在网上疯传后一举成名。 2013 年，受 Doge meme 的启发，Billy Markus 和 Jackson Palmer 创建了第一个 meme 加密货币——狗狗币 (DOGE)。 Kabosu 成为 DOGE 吉祥物，并随着狗狗币社区的快速发展而人气飙升。

Following Kabosu's passing, prominent figures in the crypto community, including Elon Musk, the official Dogecoin account, and DOGE founder Markus, paid tribute to the beloved dog, sharing the grief of the Dogecoin community.

卡博苏去世后，加密货币社区的知名人士，包括狗狗币官方账户埃隆·马斯克和 DOGE 创始人马库斯，向这只心爱的狗致敬，分享了狗狗币社区的悲伤。

Musk tweeted that the dog had "ascended to heaven," while the DOGE creator posted a meme depicting Kabosu conversing with Death, who remarks, "I'm told you were the best."

马斯克在推特上表示，这只狗已经“升入天堂”，而 DOGE 的创造者则发布了一个表情包，描绘了卡博苏与死神的对话，死神说道：“我听说你是最棒的。”

Buterin's respect for the DOGE community is not new. The Ethereum founder has previously made significant donations to the Dogecoin Foundation. In 2021, Buterin joined the organization with the intention of proposing enhancements to DOGE, including transitioning the currency from a proof-of-work algorithm to a proof-of-stake algorithm.

Buterin 对 DOGE 社区的尊重并不新鲜。这位以太坊创始人此前曾向狗狗币基金会提供过大量捐款。 2021 年，Buterin 加入该组织，旨在提议增强 DOGE，包括将货币从工作量证明算法转变为权益证明算法。
