I came from a humble background in customer service and analytics—a life that, due to changes in the world, felt like it was slowly winding down. For months, I searched for a place to call home, somewhere I could truly connect. Even though the journey wasn’t easy and progress seemed slow, I never gave up. Then one day, I came across a post by Ryoshi. His words painted a vision of a community where everyone worked together to improve lives and change the way people treated one another. It sounded almost too good to be true, but it resonated deeply with me. That’s when I started exploring the world of SHIBA INU.
In 2021, I took the leap and bought my first SHIBA INU tokens. With my hand on my heart, I can proudly say that I still hold those same tokens today. I’ve never sold them—not even once for profit. SHIBA INU became more than just an investment to me; it became a symbol of hope, trust, and community.
On June 12, 2021, I joined the SHIB Discord server. At first, I was quiet and observant, taking the time to read and learn about SHIB on a deeper level. My first interaction, or at least the first one I remember, was a simple question: “Does anyone know anything about this?” I had come across a fake BONE contract. I wasn’t trying to be clever; I just wanted to help others stay safe from potential scams. To my surprise, the first person who responded to me is now my friend, Maximous. Max even shared a story about a scammer he had dealt with on Twitter. I replied, “We all need to be careful—thank you, brother Ryoshi. Blessings to the team.” It’s amazing to think that back then, we were strangers, and now we’re working together toward the same vision in the Shibarium Tech Discord.
Another early interaction that sticks with me was with Lucie. Yes, our very own Lucie! I had asked her about liquidity amounts, which made some people wary of this new guy asking questions. A few messages went back and forth, nothing major—but being new to the space, I had that “OMG!” moment, wondering what I had gotten myself into. Then, after a few minutes, Lucie replied in the chat with the kindest words: “Don’t take the people that come across as aggressive too seriously. Focus on the good energy. Trading should be fun.” Her words immediately put me at ease, and now I have another friend even though I might give her a few headaches here and there (inside joke!), and we’re working together too.
It’s incredible how the paths of people I met separately in those early days have converged with mine. Whether they knew each other back then or not, our journey feels like a story of interconnection of how everything unfolds perfectly to bring you to the right place at the right time.
A major moment for me was the late April joke that fell upon the SHIBA INU community about the release of ShibaSwap. All the OGs know it well, and I won’t explain it here. It’s something for those who are curious to discover for themselves. It’s part of our history! That event became one of the turning points in my life. In July 2021, when ShibaSwap launched, it was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. There was an overwhelming rush of people accessing the platform, many of whom didn’t fully understand what they were doing; they just wanted to be part of the action. I dedicated my time to learning how all the functions worked, and soon enough, I was helping others with their queries. The excitement was contagious, and nothing made me happier than hearing people say, “Thank you, that worked!” With every new question, I found myself diving deeper into help mode, wanting to support the community.
That’s when Archangel noticed me. He saw what I was doing, helping others navigate through the complexities of ShibaSwap and the broader SHIBA INU ecosystem and suggested to the team that I’d make a good helper. Thank you, Archangel! His support opened a door that changed everything for me. From that point on, I became someone the community could trust and turn to for advice.
I was overjoyed and found it difficult to pull myself away from the SHIB community, always wanting to be there for someone in need. The truth is, I still can’t stop! That moment was pivotal because it was then that I realized what I had been searching for all those months: I had found my home, my place within this amazing community. Without that door being opened, I might not have discovered this incredible opportunity to serve and connect with others in such a meaningful way.
A significant part of my journey has involved working through the ticket system we have in place. It’s not always easy—there have been countless tickets, each with its own unique challenges. Some have almost brought me to tears, as I felt the pain and frustration of those who faced losses due to scams. I’ve connected with people on a deeply personal level, sharing in their struggles and empathizing with their setbacks. But amid those difficult moments, there are also uplifting ones, like the times when someone finds hope again or when a person breathes a sigh of relief after finally understanding and successfully completing the necessary steps. Those moments of joy and relief make it all worth it, reminding me why I do what I do and why I’m committed to this incredible community.
Through these countless interactions, I’ve come to realize that helping others isn’t just about answering questions. It’s about providing reassurance, offering knowledge, and making sure that every individual knows they’re an integral part of the SHIBA INU journey. When a SHIB cries for help, it’s about being there, ready to answer the call with compassion, kindness, and unwavering support. That’s the true essence of this community: lifting each other up, ensuring no one feels alone, and showing that we are all part of something greater together.
I’ve traveled many SHIB miles with our community since 2021, and it’s been non-stop action for all of us. There’s always something happening—new developments, exciting innovations, and, of course, the ups and downs that come with being part of a growing movement. To those who focus on the negative, you’re not changing us. You’re only wasting your time and energy. We will not falter, and as one of my favorite film quotes says, “We will not go quietly into the night.” We don’t lose focus or direction. Instead, we stand strong, united in our purpose. But enough of the negativity. Even mentioning it feels like too much for me. Nur0 is all about keeping it full-on positive! And anyone who knows me knows that. There’s so much to celebrate in what we’ve built together. We move forward, focusing on the good, on what we can achieve together, and on the power of this community to uplift one another.
Every day, I wake up with the same excitement and drive I had when I first joined. My passion for SHIBA INU and the joy of connecting with people from all walks of life keep me going. We are more than just a community, we are SHIBARMY Strong! Sharing not only in the victories but also in the challenges.
As we continue to grow, I’ll be here alongside all of you, staying committed, learning, growing, and contributing with unwavering dedication. Together, we’ll keep moving forward with positivity and purpose, no matter what comes our way. I’m always ready to help in any way I can, with a positive mindset and an open heart.
Final Thoughts
I want to take a moment to express our deep gratitude to Shy, Kaal, and the entire SHIBA INU team. Despite all the FUD and negativity, they’ve continued to build with positivity and resilience, which inspires me to stay positive too. Of course, there are times when we all feel frustrated. That’s just part of being human, but what truly matters are the actions we take, not just the words we share, especially during challenging moments.
Ryoshi once said, “The greatest lover can become the greatest hater.” I choose not to love, so I cannot hate.
I may be just one voice among many, but I stand firm in my mission: to protect those who’ve worked hard from the hands of scammers. No one deserves to lose what they’ve worked so hard to build. I’m always here, ready to help. If you’re ever unsure about something, just shout, and I’ll be there to provide guidance and clarity. My goal is to keep you safe to the best of my ability, every step of the way.
HAIL SHIB! BLESSINGS!
