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%.

The owner of the Shib Informer Twitter account said in a private message:

“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.

Tesla’s robotaxi reveal sparks excitement

Analysts and investors are eagerly awaiting Elon Musk’s big reveal—a fully functional autonomous vehicle that could revolutionise ride-hailing.

Tesla’s stock has soared 52% since Musk first announced the event in April, reflecting high hopes for the launch of its much-anticipated robotaxi.

The vehicle, dubbed the “Cybercab,” is said to be a sleek, two-seater without a steering wheel or pedals—straight out of the future.

Tesla also teased a ride-hailing app that will summon these driverless cars to pick up riders at their chosen locations.

Not convincing

But not everyone is convinced—some analysts warn that while Musk’s vision is bold, the timeline for these innovations may not deliver immediate results.

Musk has a history of overpromising on autonomous tech, and this event might be more about grand ideas than tangible products.

Tesla first floated the robotaxi idea in 2016, with Musk hinting at a future where owners could lease their cars to others for extra income.

If the software keeps pace with Musk’s ambitions, the future of driverless Teslas might be closer than we think.
