In the last few weeks, it seems that all crypto investors are talking about the Shiba Inu token (SHIBA) while the financial media are writing about it a lot. What is known about this cryptocurrency, and why is it called ‘the Dogecoin killer‘? In this article, we try to depict
What Is the Shiba Inu Coin? Shiba Inu (SHIB) is a token inside the Shiba Inu ecosystem. This decentralized meme token was created in August 2020 by Ryoshi — an anonymous person or a group of people. Ever since the Shiba Inu coin hit the cryptocurrency market, it has been compared to the DOGE coin. In reality, however, they have nothing in common besides both being meme coins and an occasional endorsement from Elon Musk. The project does parody Dogecoin with its use of Shiba Inu puppy, but SHIB’s developers are aiming to solve serious, real-life problems. SHIB was released on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token with a total supply of one quadrillion coins. Before launch, developers transferred half of the digital coins to the Uniswap DEX and destroyed the keys. The other half of the coins was transferred to the founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin. He burned 90% of the SHIB tokens by sending them to a non-existent address. In total, Buterin destroyed 410 trillion tokens worth $6.5 billion. The creators of the project had the following explanation: Shiba Inu was the first project to follow this path. Everyone should buy coins on the open market, ensuring a fair and complete distribution, in which developers do not own the tokens and cannot dump them into the community. In 2020, Buterin transferred more than 50 trillion Shiba Inu tokens to the India COVID-Crypto Relief fund. At the time of the transaction, they were worth about $1.14 billion. He also promised to donate the remaining Shiba Inu tokens to charity, but this time, to support longer-term initiatives. As the project grows, the creators of Shiba Inu (SHIB) want to turn it into a full-fledged decentralized ecosystem and transfer 100% of rights to the community to manage the protocol without a governing body. The Shiba Inu price history had a perfect start — in a few weeks of its existence, its price rose by 27,000%. Percentage-wise, it was an outstanding performance for the Shiba coin, but it’s important to mention that the token price did not reach even one-tenth of
a cent.
