If Dogecoin is a joke, then the birth of Shiba Inu Coin (SHIB) is simply the "square of a joke."
In 2020, a mysterious person calling themselves "Ryoshi" thought Dogecoin was "not decentralized enough," so they waved their hand and created Shiba Inu Coin, aiming to "take down Dogecoin."
Doesn't that sound like a nameless underdog in a martial arts novel claiming to challenge the leader of the martial arts world?
Here comes the even crazier move: Ryoshi created one quadrillion SHIB tokens and then directly sent half (500 trillion tokens) to Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin's (V God) wallet.
This move shocked everyone, as it was akin to handing over the project's "half-life" to a completely unrelated person.
Some say this is genius marketing, while others say it's pure prank.
Everyone was waiting to see how V God would handle this "hot potato." As a result, V God quietly burned 90% of it (worth about $6.7 billion) and donated the remaining 10% to India's pandemic relief fund.
This action directly reduced SHIB's supply and instead ignited market sentiment.
Driven by the frenzy of various capital and communities, the price of this "Dogecoin killer" skyrocketed, increasing by over ten million times, creating a new batch of "migrants."
A project initially born to "stir the pot" unexpectedly ascended to the altar due to a stroke of divine "gift" and V God's "compassion."
So, in the crypto world, sometimes success doesn't rely on how advanced the technology is, but rather on how outrageous the story is.
