Shytoshi Kusama, the lead of the Shiba Inu project, has made a bold request to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. Kusama wants 10 minutes of Buterin’s time to showcase SHIB’s potential. His request follows Buterin’s recent statement that Dogecoin deserves to be the second-largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin.

Shytoshi Kusama’s Proposal To Highlight Shiba Inu Vision

Following Vitalik Buterin’s comment regarding Dogecoin’s ranking, Shytoshi Kusama publicly requested a brief meeting to present Shiba Inu’s vision. Kusama expressed his intention to use the opportunity to outline SHIB features and roadmap, focusing on its technology, strong community, and governance model. 

Kusama’s presentation would reportedly center on SHIB future development goals and its contributions to the blockchain ecosystem. His request reflects Shiba Inu’s ongoing efforts to establish itself as a credible cryptocurrency with robust infrastructure.

The SHIB lead emphasized, 

“I would like the chance to show you “Why Shib” in a 10 min. pitch to showcase the technologies, robust community, intelligent governance, & digital state we have built for a truly decentralized future that ultimately benefits ETH. Shibarmy can you help here?”

Most recently, Shytoshi Kusama highlighted why SHIB has outperformed Bitcoin in lifetime gains, drawing attention to its 33,774,726% surge since its launch in 2020. Kusama’s comments sparked discussions across the crypto community, noting SHIB potential for further growth.

The Ethereum Connection and Role on the Network

Shiba Inu operates on the Ethereum blockchain, and Kusama’s outreach suggests potential mutual benefits. Kusama stated that showcasing SHIB technology could be relevant to the Ethereum network.

In his appeal, Kusama emphasized the community-driven nature, urging members to assist in gaining Buterin’s attention to secure the meeting. His pitch points to Shiba Inu’s intention to contribute more broadly within the Ethereum ecosystem.

The community reacted to the tweet and Kusama’s request with many tagging Vitalik Buterin requesting him to accept the meet-up. Notably, SHIB marketing lead, Lucie, reacted by stating, 

“Maybe he knows it’s better and, in the end, might outperform ETH. Perhaps more solidarity for everything Shib has accomplished on the Ethereum blockchain, and Solana won’t be flipping ETH today.” 

This backing demonstrates strong community foundation, with members eager to gain recognition from Buterin. The project seeks to transition from its original meme coin status to a blockchain project with a clearer technological focus.

Amidst Buterin’s statement, Shiba Inu holds the 12th position in the cryptocurrency market with a valuation of around $10.64 billion. However, Dogecoin ranks higher at 8th with $24.6 billion. Kusama’s invitation is a strategic move to emphasize SHIB strengths and its alignment with the Ethereum ecosystem.

Recently, Shiba Inu burn rate surged by 253,000% within 24 hours, as over 5.61 billion SHIB tokens were burned, capturing significant investor interest.
