What is Shiba Inu?
Shiba Inu $$SHIB is one of the most successful meme coins to emerge. It is themed on the Japanese breed of hunting dog and is widely thought of as an alternative to Dogecoin.
Shiba Inu is referred to as a meme coin – that is a coin that associated with a theme and is often created as a joke rather than a serious project. Dogecoin was the first meme coin (named after a popular dog on the internet).
The project is led by the so-called SHIB Army, a base of over 500,000 individuals that embrace the founding principles – these are:
- A project starting from nothing with the spirit of creating something out of nothing;
- Not being founded from an existing community
- A love of Shiba Inu dogs.
The project is an Ethereum-based ERC-20 token running on the Ethereum blockchain.
The price of Shiba Inu increased more than tenfold in October 2021 with a peak market cap of $41 billion – a tweet from Elon Musk on 3rd October 2021 (showing a picture of his Shiba Inu puppy) caused much of the price surge.
At the time of writing, the coin has a market cap of $17 billion.
Who created Shiba Inu?
