Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of Shiba Inu, has recently reached out to the SHIB community to affirm its dominance over Dogecoin.
In a tweet, Kusama highlighted the Shiba Eternity game and took a jab at “Dogecoin gaming” by referencing his own project.
Kusama’s tweet was a response to a post by @MyDogeCEO, founder of the MyDoge wallet. The original tweet featured a video with Shiba Inu characters in a game, with one character bowing to a statue of a superior Shiba Inu. The MyDoge CEO mentioned that “Gaming on Dogecoin is coming,” but did not provide specifics about the game or what was meant by this statement. Kusama’s reaction, “Laughs in Shiba Eternity,” underscored his confidence in SHIB’s capabilities compared to DOGE.
In recent interviews, Kusama has consistently expressed his belief that Shiba Inu will eventually surpass Dogecoin in popularity.
Meanwhile, Lucie, Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, announced a significant upgrade for Shiba Eternity, transitioning it from Web2 to Web3. She revealed that players will soon receive a “welcome pack” filled with in-game rewards, though existing Web2 accounts will not qualify for these bonuses.
Earlier this week, Kusama also commented on Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin’s new relationship. Photos of Buterin and his partner have been circulating, and the Ethereum community views this as a positive sign, recalling a previous dip in Ethereum’s value following Buterin’s last breakup. Kusama described the news as “bullish and cute.”
