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 by market capitalisation 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.

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.
Will Shiba Inu coin reach $1?
As this would put the market cap of Shiba Inu slightly north of $589 trillion, the answer is most likely no.
Is the Shiba Inu (SHIB) coin a good investment?
When Shiba Inu launched in April 2020 the price of the memecoin was US$0.000000001009.
By May of 2021, SHIB jumped 457% in one day, making it $0.00003469. The all-time high (ATH) was US$0.00008845 in October 2021. At the time of writing, SHIB is priced at US$0.00000887. So the price is down by around 90% from its ATH.
Some price predictions are positive, some negative. In some cases, the is predicted to go to $0.000055 this year.
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.
