Vitalik donates $1B worth of Shiba Inu coin to India
Firstly a bit of context: last week, Etherum’s co-founder Vitalik Buterin donated $1 billion worth of Shiba Inu coin to a COVID-19 relief fund in India.
But the massive donation spooked buyers, causing Shiba Inu Coin to plummet.
Shib Informer said in a private chat that many people distrust the Ethereum founder, for “no good reason.”
They added that buyers were becoming increasingly concerned that the currency is at the ‘mercy of a millionaire kid now,’ much like Dogecoin is beholden to Elon Musk.
However, SHIB welcomed Vitalik’s actions, saying that he is “not dumping our token” by “acknowledging a humanitarian crisis” in a recent open letter.
Vitalik destroys 90% of his SHIB coins
Vitalik has since burned 90% of his $SHIB wallet, now owning 5% rather than 45%. The currency has since risen approximately 12%.
“Imagine that you own half of the dollars in the world, and you put them all in a room put gasoline and burn it. The remaining money in the world will rise in price, right? That is what happened.”
What is Shiba Inu Coin?
The “Shiba Inu coin” also known as SHIB coin or $SHIB is rising in popularity. Much like Dogecoin – it started out as a meme, but now crypto investors are seeing some potential.
Shiba was founded by the mysterious Ryoshi, in 2020.
Shibu Inu coin can be bought as tokens directly from their website, or through popular third parties like the Uni-swap platform.
