Kabosu, the face and iconic “Doge” meme, left a mark on the hearts of many. His passing has been felt across the Internet, uniting diverse communities in memory of the joy he brought to the world.
Japan's Shiba Inu inspired a generation of online jokes after her skeptical gaze became a symbol of internet humor in 2010. The Cardano founder's recent comment not only pays tribute to Kabosu's legacy but also highlights camaraderie. that exists within the cryptospace.
The Cardano founder's memetic statement would be essentially true considering the relationship between Dogecoin and Bitcoin.
In 2013, two software programmers, Jackson Palmer and Billy Markus, were inspired by the simplicity of Bitcoin to create Dogecoin, a parody cryptocurrency.
Since DOGE was originally a joke copy of Bitcoin and used a significant part of Bitcoin's source code, the two cryptocurrencies have a lot in common.
For example, both Bitcoin and Dogecoin use a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism that involves miners. Transactions on a proof-of-work blockchain are stored in blocks. Once a block is full, a group of dedicated users considered miners begin validating it.
