According to U.Today, the Shiba Inu team's official marketing lead, known as Lucie on social media, has shared a new video on TikTok and issued a crucial warning to the community. The video, which Lucie describes as having an 'epic' soundtrack, carries an important message from the SHIB team to the Shiba Inu army. The voice message in the video states, 'To the ones who counted me out. To those who did not believe in me and those who left me for dead. I’m still here and I’m not quit.' The text on the video proudly proclaims, 'It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon.'
Over the weekend, Lucie also issued a warning to the SHIB meme coin community. She reminded the community that the TREAT token, intended to serve as a reward payout within the SHIB ecosystem, has not yet been launched. Lucie stressed the presence of numerous imposters targeting the SHIB community and causing confusion. She advised following the official account for accurate information.
Earlier this year, it was reported that many scammers were not only encouraging users to invest in the unreleased TREAT coin but were also impersonating key figures from the SHIB team, including the enigmatic lead Shytoshi Kusama and SHIB’s top developer, Kaal Dhairya. Fake accounts of these individuals were spotted on Telegram, and Lucie and other SHIB team members have been working to spread awareness about these fraudulent activities.
In other news, the SHIB community has reportedly burned another large chunk of meme coins, according to data shared by the Shibburn explorer. Over the last 24 hours, 7,128,803 canine meme coins have been burned, driving the overall burn rate up by 207.23%. When tokens are 'burned,' they are transacted to unspendable blockchain addresses and are permanently locked away, effectively reducing the circulating Shiba Inu supply. This is part of a long-term strategy to make SHIB more scarce and potentially increase its price.
