About Bobo

What is Bobo

'Bobo the Bear' is the patron saint of bearish financial markets and the official bear market mascot. You can always count on Bobo to show up when the candles are red and the market is bleeding. When they're green, he's spreading bearish propaganda and terrorizing the bulls 24/7. Bobo Memes are used to satirize poor investment choices and express pessimism in both crypto and traditional finance markets. Bobo is an identity that traders can relate to.

Bobo Bear’s Rise to Beardom

It was the 2018 crypto bear market - that’s where Bobo came to life on 4chan’s business and finance /biz/ board. A symbol of market mayhem. Anons created and shared hundreds of Bobo Memes as crypto plunged deeper into the abyss. Eventually, Bobo expanded to Twitter as OG Bobo artist {Rekt_tekashi} took it to another level, leading the Bobo community, making thousands of Bobo memes over the years, creating the Bobo Council, and launching the official currency for Bobos - {$BOBO}. Other OG Bobos such as MajinSaiyan, who coined “Bera” in 2019 while using Bobo memes, the mysterious Bobo Bitcoin, and smolgrrr, who is still waiting for Bitcoin to dip below $15k before making his return, added layers to Bobo’s lore, making him a crypto icon. Bobo’s presence on telegram can’t be understated - Bobo stickers have billions of impressions across countless trading groups. My Bobo pack alone has nearly 100k installs and millions of uses. In April 2025, Bobo was added as a verified brand on GIPHY - integrating Bobo Memes with Instagram, Facebook, StockTwits, Slack, and thousands of other platforms.
