According to U.Today, Shytoshi Kusama, the elusive leader of the Shiba Inu developer team, has been observed making another location change on the X platform. This has left the Shiba Inu community, also known as the SHIB army, wondering about the reason behind the leader's visit to this specific country. Earlier this year, Kusama frequently changed his locations on X, which led to numerous questions from the SHIB army. However, the lead developer later provided an explanation about his travels.
A Shiba Inu fan from Japan, known by the handle @kuro_9696_9696, revealed on his X account that Kusama is currently in the UK. The account holder posted a screenshot of Kusama’s X page as evidence. The SHIB army responded with a variety of comments, questioning the purpose of Kusama’s trip to that region. One X user even highlighted the high taxes imposed by the U.K. government on its citizens, which they have to pay 'for the benefit of others.' However, a review of Shytoshi Kusama’s X page indicates that he has continued his journey and has left the U.K., now heading to Nice in France. Kusama was also seen visiting various locations around the world at the beginning of 2024.
About a week ago, a Shiba Inu executive shared a message from Shytoshi Kusama to the SHIB community. This occurred when Lucie, SHIB’s marketing expert, commented on the wave of panic sell-offs that had affected the cryptocurrency market. Shytoshi Kusama then communicated to the community through her that nobody’s perfect, including him, and that he cannot influence what is happening to SHIB at the moment. The only way he can affect it is to continue building with the team. Lucie subsequently tweeted: 'We are not gods, but just regular people trying to create something great.' She compared the current situation in the crypto space to a gold rush in the nineteenth-century United States.
