One can say a rising tide lifts all boats and tack the extreme greed in the crypto market to the rise of Bitcoin. But even a cursory look will show that SHIB has been surfing an entirely different monster wave.
The past few weeks were filled with momentous moments, including events behind the scenes, that are now setting the stage for the advancement of the community and its auxiliaries and, subsequently, the great Shiba State.
The plan seems to be working effectively, with the SHIB surging its way out of the trenches to which it was long confined during the brutal crypto winter — to the tenth place, flipping nine crypto assets and just a seat behind Dogecoin.
This Monday witnessed an unprecedented surge in SHIB volume, surpassing that of BNB, Solana, and XRP combined — by a staggering billion-dollar margin.
While to some this is already an achievement, the community, along with its leaders, believe this is merely the beginning!
The world watches with bated breath as the Shib Army, unlike any other community in the cryptocurrency realm, amplifies its message with unmatched fervor, poised to redraw the powers of the community and leave a lasting legacy.
We will let you in on a secret. Shib’s victory march was well-planned. And the general leading the charge was seen very recently trying to marshall resources for the coming assault.
Granted these are heady days. But we’ll be more clear. Shib general Shytoshi Kusama was believed to be at ETH Denver last week. And not just to take a look.
Let’s take a step back and delve into the events of the past few days to draw some insights. If you’ve been following Shy’s recent activities, you’d have noticed his tweet asking about the whereabouts of the unconventional murals at Denver International Airport.
It might make you wonder, why is Shy on the hunt for apocalyptic artwork at the DIA?
Remember this?
While only he can truly answer that question, it could be a moment of synchronicity, aligning his interest in those conspiracy-laden artworks with Leo Tanguma’s intent.
Tanguma, the artist behind the airport’s most contentious murals, aimed to highlight societal issues and envision a brighter future amid chaos.
Whether Shy found them or not is not known.
But — and this gets interesting — there were no reports of his sightings at the event itself. Maybe like an adept cloud shaman, he slipped through those vast crowds of tech executives and crypto enthusiasts unnoticed. Not beyond the man!
Oh, but a little bird tells us that he and the Shib leadership team held a private event in Denver. Our sources tell us he was strategizing and seeking alliances.
The meeting could be about the recent Zama announcement or many of the other partnerships in the pipeline, we speculate.
Could this mark a significant departure from the Shib team’s anonymous nature? Perhaps a shift in strategy is underway?
Attempts to glean further info from Shy were met with a meme, Shy style, leaving us intrigued and hungry for more information.
In pursuit of answers, The Shib reached out to Zama and D3, Shib’s trusted partners, who were reportedly in Denver at the same time.
Dr. Rand Hindi, CEO of Zama, lauded Shy and Kaal as visionary leaders, praising their bold projects.
“Shy and Kaal are inspiring leaders who are building one of the most ambitious projects in crypto. I love their vision of a Shiba Inu network state!” Dr. Hindi said.
Echoing that sentiment was Jason Delabays, Zama’s blockchain ecosystem lead. “I was impressed by their vision of building a network state around this impressive community. I’m convinced that confidentiality plays a major role in achieving this, and it’s a pleasure to have them as partners,” he said.
Now that doesn’t leave us any the wiser. Shy is darn good at erasing his tracks!
Meanwhile, D3 CEO Fred Hsu’s candid feedback was a delight and brought an added level of intrigue to the dialogue.
“It was great to meet Shy in person and see his passion and dedication for Shib and its community firsthand,” he said.
We are not saying anything but those executives won’t lie about something as crucial as this, right?
The crypto bull run was already taking off when ETH Denver kicked off. Shy seemed ready to strike already, his battle plan meticulously laid out as he and his lieutenants sought resources for its flawless execution.
Those efforts now seem to have bore fruit. The market took notice, propelling SHIB to newer heights.
Then came that pivotal moment Monday morning when SHIB closed in on Avalanche, which was just behind Dogecoin — Shib’s frenemy. Shy flipped the kill switch at that moment, letting loose his feared weapon—three of them, to be precise. Three well-timed tweets.
The general’s battle cry reverberated far and wide, calling upon the Shib Army to get in the line of duty, dispatch all troops, and herald the underdog’s victory march.
And he made his intentions very clear, talking in Biblical cadence: “It seems that our March to the ranks of Dogeville are completeth….”; talked of assembling elite units to break down the walls of Dogeville; and called in reinforcements.
He added for good measure: “We have almost successfully traversed the snowy avalanche.” That was of course a reference to AVAX, which was the only thing standing in between the Shib hordes and Dogeville.
And then, AVAX fell! The general and his SHIB ARMY were within sniffing distance of their final target!
Now we wait for Dogeville to fall. An inevitability!
But hey, it is not just a story of veni, vidi, vici!
If you step back a little before the Monday triumph of SHIB, you will notice an interesting change in the Shiba Inu top honcho’s location updates on X.
A sudden shift in location from Denver to El Salvador had raised eyebrows and sparked curiosity. What would have drawn Shy and Kaal Dhairya, key figures in the Shiba Ecosystem, to this Central American nation?
The answer may lie in El Salvador’s groundbreaking decision to embrace Bitcoin as legal tender, making it the first country in the world to do so.
Could it be that Shy and Kaal were exploring potential collaborations with the El Salvadorian government to elevate SHIB to a similar status within the country?
Only the future can tell us — when the man himself decides it’s time to spill the beans.
