Shiba Inu (SHIB) has been making waves in the cryptocurrency world for quite some time, capturing the attention of investors, meme enthusiasts, and dog lovers alike.
What is Shiba-Inu? How to Buy SHIB?
What exactly is SHIB, and why is it often referred to as “the Dogecoin killer”? And how can I buy it?
The Origins of Shiba Inu
Shiba Inu is an Ethereum-based memecoin (or altcoin that features the Shiba Inu, a Japanese breed of hunting dog, as its mascot.
Shiba Inu is often seen as an alternative to Dogecoin.
Both SHIB and Dogecoin fall into the category of meme coins, which means they are associated with a theme (in this case, the Shiba Inu dog) and often launched as a playful parody. But don’t underestimate their impact — meme coins can still pack a punch. For example, Dogecoin is is the 10th most popular crypto by market capitalization at the time of writing, beating out other cryptocurrencies that have genuinely useful features.
Shiba Inu is 18th by market cap (at the time of writing), but again it is more popular than some cryptocurrencies that are useful for many things.
Who created Shiba Inu?
Shiba Inu was created in August 2020 by an anonymous individual or group known as Ryoshi. The project emerged as an experiment in decentralised spontaneous community building.
Ryoshi believed that collective decentralization could create something stronger than a centralized team ever could.
Key Features of Shiba Inu
Massive supply
SHIB had an initial circulating supply of one quadrillion coins. Yes, you read that right — abundant is an understatement. But this abundance has not diminished its appeal, seemingly.
Shibaswap and NFTs
The Shiba Inu ecosystem extends beyond the token itself. It supports projects like Shibaswap, a decentralized exchange, and an NFT art incubator. So, it’s not just about the coin; it’s about the entire ecosystem.
Woof paper
Forget the traditional whitepaper — Shiba Inu has a “woof paper”. The “white paper” outlines the project’s guiding principles. It’s all about community-driven development and the spirit of creating something out of nothing.
Shibarium
In January 2023, the Shiba Inu community introduced Shibarium, a layer two blockchain designed to run on top of Ethereum. Its goals include reducing congestion, introducing staking, lowering gas fees, and supporting decentralized applications.
The SHIBArmy
The SHIBArmy, with its base of nearly 500,000 members, embraces Shiba Inu’s founding principles. These include starting from zero, not relying on an existing community or preassembled team, and, of course, a love for Shiba Inu dogs.

Frequently asked questions
Shiba Inu vs Dogecoin: What’s the difference?
Dogecoin was the original memecoin, created in December 2013 as a joke version of Bitcoin and built using essentially the same technology.
Shiba Inu was inspired by Dogecoin, but was deployed as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. This means that beyond being a purely tongue-in-cheek crypto, it also has the power to use smart contracts in the shape of dapps and DeFi.
Both are available on most cryptocurrency exchanges.

Is the Shiba Inu (SHIB) coin a good investment?

Meanwhile other pundits predict it will stay where it is. No one has a crystal ball to see into the future!
Will Shiba Inu ever reach one cent?
While Shiba Inu will probably never reach 1 dollar, reaching one cent is more likely. But it seems to be a lofty goal.
If $0.01 per token was reached, it would make SHIB more valuable than some of the largest companies.
So while hitting 1 cent is theoretically possible, it probably won’t happen.

It’s impossible to predict with certainty. SHIB’s value in 2025 will depend on market trends, adoption, and ecosystem developments like Shibarium, the Shib metaverse. CoinJar doesn’t provide price predictions, but you can track trends on our platform.
