About Bobo the Bear
Bobo the Bear is a playful, meme character that’s become synonymous with bear markets. The design of Bobo draws inspiration from characters like Apu Apustaja and sometimes Pepe the Frog, creating a unique and recognizable figure in the world of financial memes. The name “Bobo” was chosen in June 2018 and has since become the official name for the character.
You’ll find Bobo popping up all over Twitter, 4chan—especially on the /biz board (4chan)—and various online communities. Bobo NFTs, known as the Bobo Council, have also been created.
Bobo is more than just a meme; it’s a way to satirize poor investment choices, poke fun at financial pessimism, and share a collective sense of humor about market downturns. The character is managed by “rekt_teka$hi,” an OG Bobo meme artist who’s been creating Bobo content since the very beginning in 2018.
Whether it’s posting about bad investment decisions, the struggles of the market, or the ups and downs of trading, Bobo the Bear has become a beloved symbol of the bear market, offering a light-hearted take on financial uncertainty.
