> In 2021 the "Doge" meme sold as a non-fungible token (NFT) for $4m (£3.2m).

> Kabosu is also the face of the cryptocurrency Dogecoin, which was originally created as a "joke" currency and is the sleeve sponsor of Watford Football Club.

Absurd times we live in, comedic and dramatic at the same time.


That "joke" currency currently has a market cap of $23 billion and a trading volume of $2.6B over the last 24 hours.

So yes, totally agreed.


> is the sleeve sponsor of Watford Football Club.

is this true? it is not listed on the club's website[0], maybe it was a one-time-only kind of deal? I do recall a couple of those for nascar (dogecar looked great too), the whole dogecoin community was great back then, but this seems big-ish.

Something to be said about online icons like this. I didn't really care for the dog, but keyboard-cat was my jam.


Sad.-

One wonders how the asset will behave ...


Anything that gets it trending and isn't explicitly negative like a contract issue or exchange delisting should be bullish.


Good point.-


I am sure it will be a good boy....


It's "mooning" to heaven, I am sure.-


*girl (Kabosu was a female dog)


there was a short spike, probably related


See you space cowboy


18 is quite long for a dog, no?


Above average, but not completely unusual. I'd compare it to being a 90yo human. Rare, but it happens.


At 98% percentile of Shiba's I'd say it's more like turning 100, at least.


Yes 98% percentile for Shiba Inu's


There seem to be three articles about this on the front page of HN right now.


RIP boyo


@dang black bar please ...


Seconded, if possible.-
