According to U.Today, Shiba Inu’s official social media marketing lead, Lucie, has shared a significant message from the enigmatic SHIB leader, Shytoshi Kusama. This message, delivered during the Blockchain Futurist Conference in Toronto, Canada, was emphasized by Lucie as crucial for the community to revisit. The conference, which coincides annually with ETHToronto and ETHWomen, took place a week ago.
In his recorded message, Kusama provided a brief overview of Shiba Inu's accomplishments since its inception four years ago. He highlighted that few crypto ecosystems and communities have achieved as much in such a short time. The recap included the acceptance of SHIB by thousands of merchants worldwide, substantial growth in the community on social media platforms like X and Discord, and a significant increase in SHIB holder accounts. Additionally, Kusama noted that SHIB was the most searched cryptocurrency globally in 2023. In August 2023, the team launched the layer-2 solution, Shibarium, at ETHToronto.
Kusama also mentioned several other achievements by the Shiba Inu team and its community. Despite these accomplishments, Kusama continues to maintain his anonymity. When questioned by a reputable UAE media outlet about the possibility of revealing his identity, Kusama stated that he prefers his mask to gain fame, as he has made several public appearances wearing it, and does not intend to reveal his face to the public.
