Shibarium, Shiba Inu's Ethereum Layer-2 Blockchain, Launches to Drive DeFi Expansion

A Strong Bitcoin Alarm Rings Amidst Soaring Interest in Shiba Inu

Shiba Inu Emerges as a Strong DeFi Contender, Introducing Digital IDs to Its Expanding Ecosystem Projects

Ryoshi, the founder of the pseudonymous Shiba Inu (SHIB), has left the community after removing all of their Tweets and blog posts this week.

Ryoshi's identity, like that of Bitcoin (BTC) creator Satoshi Nakamoto, has remained a mystery since the project's inception in August 2020. In addition, like Dogecoin (DOGE) creators Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, they have taken a hands-off attitude to the memecoin.

Shytoshi Kusama, one of the project's lead developers, has claimed that the project will continue to "actualize Ryoshi's vision and goal for this grand experiment" of creating a decentralized memecoin ecosystem.

Ryoshi has intimated on multiple times that they would eventually leave Shiba Inu, since they have downplayed their importance and position. The founder allegedly said in a since-deleted Medium post:

"I've always said that I'm a nobody and that I don't matter. Even if successful, the efforts to uncover my 'identity' would be insufficient. I'm just some insignificant man pounding away at a keyboard, and I'm easily replaceable. "My name is Ryoshi."

Ryoshi's Twitter account is still up, although with no activity, and two blog pieces bidding farewell to the ShibArmy are still available on Medium. Some people, however, have speculated that these posts could be from a scammer who made a new account in Ryoshi's name.

Previous reports pointing to Ryoshi's blog now display the warning "user deactivated or deleted their account," despite another account with his name and profile photo being active.

"I am insignificant, and one day I shall vanish without a trace." "Take the SHIBA and ascend frens," says the first message, while the second adds, "Every Shibarmy is Ryoshi." It does not represent anyone, but Shibarmy's greatness! END.”

Regardless of the potential for tomfoolery on Medium, Shytoshi Kusama wrote a blog post on Tuesday, wishing Ryoshi farewell and reiterating his dedication to the project's future vision:

"Ryoshi's ethos of remaining anonymous and having no say in Shib's direction adds to the mystique and awe of our mythos." We started from the ground up, never paid for a listing on an exchange, and revolutionized'meme' tokens by growing rapidly."

"ShibaSwap, Shi, Shibarium, Shib, Leash, Bone, Treat, ShibaSwap, ShibaSwap, ShibaSwap, ShibaSwap, Shib Also worth noting is the concept of LOCAL Shib regions (meetups), as seen in ShibaZone and, later, Shibacon. These latter two aspects, in my opinion, are part of our development, and all of our other projects support or use one or more of the above," the post continued.

Notably, the revelation hasn't had a detrimental impact on the price of SHIB, which has risen 3.1 percent in the last 24 hours to $0.00001209.

Despite the fact that the asset is down 86% since its all-time high of $0.00008616 in late October 2021, SHIB is still up 54% year-over-year, which is something that hasn't been repeated across many major assets.
