How Shiba Inu Started
Shiba Inu launched in August 2020, created by an anonymous founder known as “Ryoshi.” Inspired by the Shiba Inu dog breed and Dogecoin’s viral rise, SHIB began as a decentralized community experiment. The core idea was simple: build a token owned by the people, not by centralized institutions.
From Meme to Movement
What started playfully turned into a serious movement. The “ShibArmy”—a large, passionate community—pushed initiatives around transparency, education, and real utility through DeFi integrations, NFTs, and charitable efforts. This momentum helped SHIB evolve into one of the most-watched crypto ecosystems.
Why Understanding Comes First
Emotional decisions are common in crypto—and often costly. Learning the basics of SHIB’s origin, token mechanics, and long-term vision helps you avoid hype and focus on informed action. Responsible investors start with education, not impulse.
