In 2020, just 1 dollar transformed into 18,670 dollars five years later. If you had bought it too, would you still be troubled by the fluctuations of ten dollars today? Or did you miss this life-changing crypto gamble?



Five years ago, when Shiba Inu (SHIB) was just launched, it was merely one of the thousands of inconspicuous 'meme coins', priced so low it was laughable: 0.00000000097 dollars. Yes, that’s nine zeros after the decimal point. At that time, one dollar could buy a full 1 billion SHIB tokens. While most people were still researching Bitcoin or Ethereum, almost no one noticed this 'Dogecoin imitator'.


But less than five years later, this 1 dollar has turned into 18,670 dollars. It’s not just adding two zeros, nor has it multiplied by dozens—rather, it has increased by a full 1,866,956%.


This number is not only shocking, but also resembles a financial myth that has a very low probability of happening yet is real. What’s truly worth considering behind this is not just getting rich, but why some people can see the future in advance while most can only sigh in front of coins.



1. SHIB's hundredfold starting point: from cold start to being sought after by tens of thousands


Initially, SHIB was just another 'meme coin'—without fundamentals, without a white paper, without team introductions, everything driven by the 'imagination' of the community and speculators. But it was precisely this unconventional positioning that attracted the attention of the early Crypto community.


Subsequently, with Elon Musk leading the way, DOGE surged, retail investors gathered to buy at the bottom, and SHIB quickly grew from a mini coin to a mainstream secondary asset. During this process, 'the cheaper it is, the more room for imagination' became the psychological support for most speculators.


It’s worth mentioning that ultra-low market cap and ultra-high supply coins like SHIB usually only experience explosive growth when community sentiment + media hype + liquidity push overlap. It’s not rational, but it truly exists at the peak of every bull market.



2. You missed the opportunity for 1 dollar to become ten thousand, what should you do?


If you are only paying attention to SHIB today, we must face a reality: you have already missed this round of explosive growth.


  • In the past three years, SHIB's growth has been mediocre, with almost no breakthrough performance;


  • Most investors who entered the market after 2022 are still in a state of loss;


  • The mentality of 'I'll wait for another hundredfold opportunity' has led many deeper into the altcoin trap.



This is also the cruel aspect of the Crypto market: not every coin has a second miracle.


But the key issue is not whether you bought SHIB, but: do you understand the logic behind the explosive growth of such assets? Do you have the ability to identify the next 'potential hundredfold coin' in advance?



3. Don't rely on 'luck' anymore; use Mlion.ai to gain insights into the logic of potential coins.


The success of Shiba Inu is essentially a product of meme value + social drive + market window. In today's information-overloaded era, merely scrolling through Twitter or lurking in Telegram groups is not enough to discover the next SHIB.


At this point, Mlion.ai's AI news deep reading, social heat analysis, and potential coin screening mechanism may be the key for ordinary investors to bridge the information gap:


  • Quickly identify the on-chain activity and trading behaviors of newly launched tokens;


  • Capture the shift in sentiment from KOLs and communities towards a certain project;


  • Analyze the price structure and growth potential of small coins, predicting whether they have 'explosive' characteristics;


  • Utilize price prediction models and AI research systems to assist in formulating entry and exit strategies.



The next SHIB will certainly not be bought by luck, but will be accurately identified through data + tools + a sense of rhythm.



4. Looking at the future from history: The Crypto dream is not just a fantasy of getting rich.


Looking back at the journey from 1 dollar to 18,670 dollars, it was not an overnight wealth gain, but more like a long wait through four years of bull and bear cycles. The courage to buy during the 'no one believes' phase and to lay out before the 'everyone is hotly discussing' phase is the real scarce resource.


We are all looking for certainty in the market, but the most valuable investment opportunities are often hidden in moments of doubt from others but firm belief from ourselves.

You may choose not to chase the next SHIB, but you cannot stop enhancing your understanding. Mlion.ai, as your intelligent investment research assistant, not only accompanies you in watching the excitement but also helps you see the logic behind the excitement.
