{"332233bbabfcc139d457242bb747656d":"There was a time when people proudly called Shiba Inu the \u201cDoge Killer\u201d The hype was insane, the community was massive, and everyone believed SHIB would someday flip $DOGE Even today, development is still happening, tokens are being burned, and holders are increasing every single month. But the big question is if everything looks positive\u2026 why isn\u2019t the price going up? 🤔","803410b035e5e95e11a24935146eabdb":"[If you want the Hindi deep-dive with charts and calculations, watch my video:So let\u2019s get straight into it.Recently, Shiba Inu burn rate jumped by more than 2,700%, and over 4.7 million SHIB tokens were destroyed. The total number of holders has crossed 1.54 million, which shows the community is still growing strong. On top of that, Shiba Inu also partnered with Solana-backed AI security company ARLO to strengthen the Shibarium ecosystem\u2019s security.Sounds great, right? But despite so many positive updates, the price keeps going down instead of up. Why? To understand that, let\u2019s go a bit back.","cfa198685f349f6c1f28e5bf63b4fe3c":"In the last bull run, Shiba Inu\u2019s market cap was almost half of Dogecoin\u2019s. Doge was around $80 billion, and Shib touched around $41 billion at that time, people genuinely believed Shib would surpass Doge.But today, Doge is still at $30 billion, while Shib has fallen to just $6 billion. The gap between them has widened by almost 5 times.Like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu was also launched as a completely decentralized, community-driven project. At launch, 50% of its supply was locked on Uniswap as liquidity, and the remaining 50% was sent to Vitalik Buterin. Out of that, Vitalik donated 10% to India\u2019s Covid Relief Fund and burned the remaining 40%. This means the Shiba team had 0 personal tokens.And this is where things get interesting \u2014 because the team couldn\u2019t dump SHIB, they launched two new tokens \u2014 $LEASH and $BONE.They marketed these as \u201cutility\u201d tokens.$LEASH had limited supply and was promoted as an \u201cexclusive access\u201d token \u2014 giving holders early entry to future projects like NFTs or Metaverse land sales.$BONE, on the other hand, was introduced for governance on ShibaSwap and as the gas token for Shibarium. In short, the team gave these tokens a big \u201cutility\u201d story to attract buyers.But if you look at them today \u2014 both LEASH and BONE are down over 99.9% from their all-time highs.$BONE dropped from $40 to $0.11, and $LEASH crashed from $5,700 to almost nothing. This clearly shows how the team rug-pulled their own community \u2014 not through SHIB, but through these side tokens.The biggest problem is \u2014 the Shiba team never truly supported its community.When community members started independent burn projects or businesses to reduce SHIB supply, the team ignored and sidelined them. Projects like Burn Channels, ShibArmyStrong, and K9 Finance \u2014 all were community-driven efforts that got no support.Why? Probably because if the community succeeded in those projects, people wouldn\u2019t care about BONE or LEASH \u2014 and the team couldn\u2019t profit. Now, some people talk about Shibarium and the Shiba Metaverse.But honestly, neither of these has added real value to SHIB.Metaverse land sales and NFTs only made money for the team \u2014 not for SHIB holders. There\u2019s been no real burn mechanism, no solid utility, and no ecosystem growth. The team simply focused on extracting as much profit as possible \u2014 not on building real value for holders. If they had kept their promises and maintained trust, SHIB would\u2019ve been in a very different position today.The only good thing is that Shiba Inu is still 100% decentralized. The developers don\u2019t have control over SHIB\u2019s supply or price \u2014 they can\u2019t manipulate it even if they want to. But since the trust between the team and community is already broken, SHIB should now be treated like an independent meme coin, just like Dogecoin.However, it\u2019ll take time for the community to fully shift its mindset. If you look at the charts they reflect exactly this sentiment.Since the 2022 bear market bottom, Doge has gone up almost 8x, and even now it\u2019s about 4x higher than its lows. Meanwhile, $SHIB is still hovering around its 2022 bottom. It completely missed the rally.Now let\u2019s talk about price predictions.If you still believe SHIB can hit \u20b91 or $1 \u2014 please, watch my earlier video where I\u2019ve explained the full math behind why that\u2019s not possible with the current supply.For 2025 and beyond, if the sentiment doesn\u2019t recover, SHIB might face a slow decline \u2014 maybe even towards death.And no, this isn\u2019t negativity or FUD \u2014 this is just data.It\u2019s easy to say \u201cSHIB will go 5x or 10x again,\u201d and show some old bullish chart for likes and views. But I prefer being honest rather than spreading fake hope. Still, there\u2019s one positive sign \u2014 a potential Golden Cross forming on SHIB\u2019s chart.A Golden Cross happens when a short-term moving average crosses above a long-term moving average \u2014 signaling that short-term buyers are becoming stronger.The last time this happened, SHIB pumped over 30%. So if the market sentiment improves even slightly, SHIB could easily remove one zero again.","f4e6a267f09d531898480ab88f364aab":"So now there are two types of people.First, existing holders :You don\u2019t need to panic sell. SHIB is still a strong and widely distributed project, and it\u2019s not going anywhere overnight. If Bitcoin dominance drops and altcoins start pumping, SHIB will also get its moment.Second, new investors :If you had to choose between two meme coins \u2014 one backed by Elon Musk and one backed by a team with two failed side tokens \u2014 which would you pick?","c306dbe668d9ad8624e0dc66d8fbda34":"That\u2019s the question. At the end of the day, this is crypto, anything can happen.Maybe tomorrow, the community comes together, burns billions of tokens, and SHIB skyrockets again.But that\u2019s hope, not data and personally, I prefer to trust data and history over hope when it comes to investments.[If you want the Hindi deep-dive with charts and calculations, watch my video 👉 CLICK HERE]"}
