Shiba Inu (SHIB), often dubbed the "Dogecoin killer," has captivated the crypto community with its meteoric rise and meme-based branding. Launched in August 2020, Shiba Inu started as an experiment in decentralized community building but quickly gained traction thanks to its vibrant and enthusiastic online community. One particularly interesting aspect of SHIB is its tokenomics; it started with a supply of one quadrillion tokens, with half of them sent to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who famously donated and burned a significant portion. This act not only highlighted the project's unique approach but also brought substantial attention to it, illustrating the unpredictable and community-driven nature of meme cryptocurrencies.
