The SHIB team’s official marketing lead, Lucie, has issued a crucial warning for new and existing crypto projects via an X post. She revealed a fundamental truth about business—especially in the crypto space—and shared essential advice to avoid a common pitfall when launching and managing a digital token.
### The "Story of Price" – A Vital Lesson
Lucie’s post, titled “The Story of Price,” isn’t about token prices directly but rather about the mindset behind building a sustainable project. She cautioned new teams launching tokens:
> “You can’t force anyone to buy a certain token—just like you can’t force people to love or choose you.”
Instead, she emphasized that the key to success lies in continuous growth, improving the project, and attracting genuine supporters who believe in its long-term value.
🔊 "The story of price. You can’t force people to love you or choose you—and the same goes for crypto. You can’t force anyone to buy a certain token. But what you can do is grow, improve, and attract those who will hold you and truly value you."

### SHIB’s Journey: From Meme to Major Player
In another post, Lucie reflected on SHIB’s early days as a meme coin, recalling how many dismissed it as a joke. However, the team remained steadfast, building through market fluctuations and skepticism.
> “Mocked at the start. Feared in the end. This is SHIB.”
Despite initial criticism, SHIB has proven its resilience, with the development team continuing to push forward regardless of market conditions or external doubts.
### 49 Million SHIB Burned in Recent Transactions
Meanwhile, the SHIB community remains active in reducing the token’s supply. According to Shibburn, a tracker widely followed by SHIB supporters, 49,046,842 SHIB were burned in just four large transactions over the past two days.
The biggest burns included:
- 22.6 million SHIB
- 14.9 million SHIB
- 3.1 million SHIB
- 8.2 million SHIB
Earlier, the burn rate had surged by 17,930% due to these massive transactions. However, activity has since slowed, with the burn rate now down by 79.89%.
### Key Takeaway for Crypto Projects
Lucie’s message serves as a critical reminder: success in crypto isn’t about forcing demand but about building real value and fostering a loyal community. For SHIB, this philosophy has been central to its growth—from a meme coin to a major player in the crypto space.
