Will the ‘Dogecoin Killer’ break all records or experience a major crash? Find out right here!
Shiba Inu (SHIB) is a meme coin that has seen a growth of 11430362.4% since its inception on Nov. 28, 2020, and continues to be a hope for thousands of holders. Also known as the Dogecoin killer, Shiba Inu was developed by a person who goes by the name of ‘Ryoshi’.
While the SHIB token has decreased in price, its popularity has only increased overtime. With countless groups on Facebook, millions of followers and tweets, and headlines in mainstream media every week, it can be said that Shiba Inu is still the crown prince of the memecoin world.
The Reason Behind Its Popularity
There can be multiple reasons, however, the biggest one is the number of supportive tweets from the owner of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk, followed by the founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, as Shiba Inu gained massive popularity in the social media world and still creates headlines with even a small price change.
Another more simple reason behind the coin’s popularity may just be a superficial and aesthetic one. Aside from the humorous aspect of buying a meme coin, it’s possible that many people are just really into cute dogs. The Shiba Inu dog, and Shiba Inu meme, which borrows its likeness, is undoubtedly adorable, and conceivably one of the main reasons behind the push for buying Shiba Coin — maybe the popular dog breed is just so cute that it’s convinced millions of people around the world to look into how to buy Shib.
Strong Community Behind SHIBA
Since the SHIB token created many millionaires and got support from influencers like Vitalik and Elon, it has seen a massive increase in its popularity, especially in the world of social media. The SHIB token holders follow the HODL philosophy and firmly believe that holding the token for a long period can make them rich in the future.

Shiba Inu Price History
Shiba Inu (SHIB) started from $0.000000000056 and went all the way up to $0.00003791 on May 10, 2021. Since then, the Shiba coin has experienced a steep downfall and is currently trending at around $0.000006453.
Shiba Inu Price Prediction
The market is currently bearish, as Bitcoin’s price fell down during the 3rd week of September 2021 after reaching $50,000 in August and is currently trending below the $45,000 mark. It is a known fact that the entire crypto market follows the trend of the largest cryptocurrency in the world, which means that when BTC is following a specific trend, most cryptocurrencies mimic its behavior.
Since the market is bearish and Shiba Inu is currently trending at $0.000006453, it may be a great time to buy the tokens and hold.
As for the SHIB token reaching the $1 mark, the chances are extremely rare in the upcoming months, according to some crypto experts. This is because the supply of SHIB tokens is extremely high, currently standing at 1 quadrillion tokens (50% of which were sent to Vitalik who burned them in May 2021). However, the crypto market is considered extremely unpredictable. Therefore, if the coin successfully follows the pattern of Dogecoin, it can easily hit the target of 1 dollar in the near future.
Another aspect to consider here is the fact that many BTC enthusiasts expect that Bitcoin can touch the $100,000 mark by the end of 2021. Even though the recent bearish trend would say otherwise, if Bitcoin touches $100k by the end of 2021, the SHIB token can see a major price change. If not $1, the token can easily hit $0.001 (or even $0.01) in such a case.
