SHIB: Six Years in Review
Let’s look back at some of the dog coins that struck gold.
SHIB: Six Years in Review—How Did It Start, and How Did It Become So Popular?
Here are a few key milestones 👇
① August 2020 | An anonymous beginning
The anonymous founder Ryoshi launched SHIB on Ethereum as a “spontaneous community-building experiment,” with the slogan “Dogecoin Killer.”
According to his early account, half of the supply was allocated to Uniswap liquidity, while much of the rest was sent to Vitalik. This “token transfer” does not mean Vitalik was involved in the launch or endorsed it.
② Early 2021 | Riding the renewed DOGE hype
SHIB had its moments in the spotlight, and its quiet spells, too.
