Since its explosive appearance in 2020, Shiba Inu (SHIB) swept through the crypto world, taking advantage of the "meme coin" craze started by Dogecoin.
But behind the shiny slogans and promises of "getting rich quick," Shiba was less a real investment and more a carefully designed manipulation.
In this article, we reveal the hidden truths that few dare to tell.
Behind the scenes: How did it all start?
Shiba presented itself with an innocent facade: a meme coin aimed at building a strong and different community.
But from the beginning, huge amounts of tokens were distributed to selected wallets—many directly linked to the founding team—giving them hidden control over the market.
Manipulation secrets: How did millions fall into the trap?
Wallets controlled by whales:
A large portion of SHIB was in the hands of whales related to the team. These wallets could inflate or crash the price at will, without any regulation.
Fake media hype:
False rumors and associations spread to attract investors, followed by massive sell-offs by insiders to cash out profits at inflated prices.
The mysterious disappearance of "Ryoshi":
At the peak of the project, the anonymous founder, Ryoshi, disappeared without a trace, leaving thousands of investors abandoned and without guidance.
Fraudulent token burn:
Although the team boasted about "large token burns to drive up the price," in reality, these burns were insignificant compared to the total supply—a further trick to deceive the community.
The community deception: How were emotions used as a weapon?
The team built what they called the "Shiba Army," where any criticism against the coin was received as betrayal or ignorance.
This toxic culture reinforced the illusion that SHIB was "invincible," while millions lost their savings for the benefit of a few manipulators.
Secondary projects... new ways to steal?
The manipulation did not end with SHIB.
Derivatives like ShibaSwap and Shibarium were launched to squeeze even more money from hopeful investors, without offering real value in return.
Conclusion: A game from beginning to end
Shiba Inu was never a serious investment project.
It was a perfectly orchestrated plan to lure ordinary people with promises of quick wealth—and then systematically rob them, all under the smile of an adorable puppy.
The golden rule:
In the crypto world, whenever you hear about a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" or "guaranteed wealth," remember: the big fish eats the small one.
Be the hunter, not the prey.
