Jun 13 2021 Share

We’ve all seen it; the iconic Doge meme which has graced our beloved internet for years on end and becoming somewhat of a cultural phenomenon for its cultural status and entry into cryptocurrency, but it has now etched its name into history by becoming the most expensive NFT ever sold.

The original photo showing the concerned Shiba Inu actually named Kabosu was sold as a non-fungible token (NFT) at an auction, with user @pleasrdao winning ownership with his bid of 1,696.9 of the Ethereum cryptocurrency Ethereum, worth around $4 million.

Kabosu’s owner Atsuko Sato had stated that the photo was nothing out of the ordinary, as she would take photos of her dog everyday since the dog enjoyed being in front of the camera.
