By Clark

Shiba Inu is an Ethereum based alternative coin to the popular Dogecoin, more popularly known as the doge meme. It is created and hosted on the Ethereum blockchain. Shiba Inu is different from Bitcoin in its intent. Bitcoin is mined to be scarce. On the other hand, Shiba Inu coin is designed to be abundant, having a supply of one quadrillion. It was created in August 2020 by a pseudonymous founder, Ryoshi. Shiba Inu, the name, is inspired by the Japanese breed of dogs with the same name. As an Ethereum coin, the Shiba Inu is compatible with the entire Ethereum ecosystem. This means that investors and traders can buy and sell Shiba Inu in exchange for ETH and other Ethereum based tokens.

In his white paper, Ryoshi says, “Shiba Inu is an experiment in decentralised spontaneous community building”. Ryoshi wanted to know what would happen if a cryptocurrency project were entirely run by its community. The belief is that the power of collective decentralisation is the key to building a stronger currency than a centralised version could build. In October 2021, the price of Shiba Inu grew more than 10-fold. This translates into a market capitalisation of $ 35 billion, ranking it as the 10^th amongst cryptocurrencies in market share. In India, Shiba Inu has a market cap of over Rs. 2T with the Shiba Inu price in India oscillating between Rs. 0.002 and Rs. 0.005.
