According to U.Today, Shytoshi Kusama, the enigmatic leader of the Shiba Inu team, known within the SHIB community, has reappeared on social media after a period of inactivity. Kusama revealed that his absence was due to a trip to the Middle East, where he had an 'incredible time meeting and understanding the culture of my cousin.' His tweet was accompanied by the hashtags #shibarmystrong and #inshallah, suggesting that he had been visiting a Muslim country or countries.
During his absence, Kusama's activity on social media was primarily limited to reposting tweets from other users. However, he did post a bullish tweet on May 29, when the SHIB price surged by over 19% within 24 hours. The Shiba Inu community has recently been engaged in a wave of tweets mocking renowned investor Warren Buffett, a well-known critic of Bitcoin. This followed a technical glitch that caused the share price of Buffett's investment fund, Berkshire Hathaway, to appear to plummet by nearly 100%.
The glitch affected the Hathaway A-Class shares, which fell from $624,400 to $185.10 per share, along with the share prices of 40 other assets on the NYSE. Lucie, the official marketing leader of Shiba Inu, shared a screenshot of a tweet, seemingly from Warren Buffett’s account, where he stated: 'Fudge fudders! Shibarium will win!' Lucie clarified in the comments that this was a joke. Notable figures in the cryptocurrency community, including U.S. whistleblower Edward Snowden and tech billionaire Elon Musk, also responded to the news about Buffett's company. Snowden commented, 'Bitcoin fixes this,' while Musk shared a tweet with a fake post by Buffett, urging Berkshire Hathaway investors to 'hodl' the company's shares. 'Hodl' is a popular meme in the cryptocurrency space, originating from a misspelling of the word 'hold.' It refers to holding onto crypto, refusing to sell it, regardless of market behavior, and has since evolved into an acronym meaning 'hold on for dear life.'
