What is Shiba Coin?

Shiba was founded by the mysterious Ryoshi, in 2020. Although Ryoshi’s identity remains unknown, they agreed to speak to Ticker reporters over a telegram chat.

Ryoshi says that Shiba is “an experiment in decentralised community” to “see if a garden can thrive without tending.”

Unlike most crypto projects which are self-funded or rely on fundraising, the founders of Shiba didn’t put any funding into the project.

“They have taken ownership of the movement themselves. “Their numbers are unstoppable and they are working as a force to change their lives.”
