Shiba Inu (SHIB) lead developer Shytoshi Kusama hinted at a potential future conversation with tech mogul Elon Musk, sparking speculation and excitement in the SHIB community.
Kusama Clarifies Identity Amid Elon Musk Rumors
Shytoshi Kusama, the pseudonymous principal developer of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem, recently offered his first interview, in which he outlined a daring vision for the future of the project.
In spite of previous cryptic remarks, Kusama has clarified that he is not the tech mogul Elon Musk. He has addressed the rumors that have been circulating about his identity.
Nevertheless, his concluding comment on his X page, which read "Wen conversation Elon Musk? lol," provided a hint that a potential future chat would take place.
Shiba Inu's Ambitious Expansion Plans Unveiled
In recent years, Kusama has been making presentations at conferences in Japan and India, where she has been focusing on ambitious expansion plans for the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
Building on the foundation that was established by the company's creator, Ryoshi, the team has successfully developed a vibrant decentralized community within the Web3 environment. What is the ultimate goal they have? It is the establishment of the first decentralized economy worth one trillion dollars.
Shiba Inu’s Market Position
According to CoinMarketCap (via U.Today), Shiba Inu (SHIB) is presently ranked with a market valuation of $9.56 billion, which places it in the thirteenth position on the list of the top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
As of the 12th of July, 2024, the price of SHIB is approximately $0.00001649. When compared to the preceding twenty-four hours, this indicates a minor increase of approximately two percent.
In the meantime, the total market capitalization of DOGE is around $15.48 billion. It is still necessary for the Shiba Inu token to have a startling spike of at least 63% in order to achieve the top meme slot.
Without a doubt, this ascent is not going to be a stroll in the park. As things now stand, the price of SHIB would need to see a significant increase, or the price of DOGE would need to experience a decline in order for the former to close the gap.
