The tweet from the user read, "here we go again." This was followed by the post from the project on Reddit that declared, “The Kabosu Inu plans to make sure that the legend of Kabosu will never be forgotten. That her existence, and impact she has had on not only cryptocurrency but the world will forever remain in our hearts.”

The project claims to have recently been in contact with Mama Kabosu.

Markus, responding to the user, said the project was “actual scum.”

Kabosu Inu token was launched on Jan. 2. At the time of writing, the token was trading at $0.000001023, down 30% in the last 24 hours, as per CoinMarketCap.

Kabosu has achieved a “phenomenal” comeback after presenting an alarming state on Christmas Eve. Atsuko Satō, who is the canine's guardian, disclosed the Shiba Inu lying-afflicted by chronic lymphoma leukemia (cancer) and acute cholangiohepatitis which is an inflammation that hits the liver and biliary tracts.

As per the Instagram post of Satō on Friday, Kabosu has entirely recovered from her medical condition and is relishing poultry tenders as well as guzzling plenty of water.

Price Action: DOGE was trading at $0.07, up 0.01% in the past 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro data.
