Lead Shiba Inu (SHIB) Developer, Shytoshi Kusamarecently said Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of ethereum which should expect more improvements from the SHIB ecosystem soon. This comes in response to Vitalik's comment. in which he praised the meme coin.
More to come from SHIB
Kusama responded to Vitalik with an X (formerly Twitter) mail, in which he shared a GIF that read, “…it's just the beginning.” The developer was reacting to Vitalik's comment. that SHIB has “vastly exceeded” their expectations. Vitalik had specifically donated SHIB to the Future of Life Institute (FLI) and seemed impressed with how quickly the transaction was processed.
However, Kusama's response is a bold statement to the crypto community about how SHIB has not yet reached its full potential and that further growth of the crypto token and its ecosystem should be expected. Meanwhile, Kusama wasn't the only member of the Shiba Inu team to react to Vitalik's statement.
Lucie, Marketing Director at Shiba Inustated that Vitalik's praise for SHIB is a great reminder not to underestimate the meme currency and their community. He also took the opportunity to urge members of the SHIB community to use the Layer 2 Network Shibarium so everyone in the crypto space can see how strong the community is.
In fact, the SHIB community, commonly known as the 'SHIB Army', has played a role integral role to help SHIB experience such exponential growth since its launch in 2020. In her response to Vitalik, Kusama also reaffirmed this fact by using the hashtag '#SHIBARMYSTRONG' in her post.
