Kusama breaks the silence
Kusama’s silence sparked anticipation from most of the SHIB community. During this period, she occasionally posted content through other important members of the SHIB ecosystem. According to a post by Lucie, a prominent member of Shiba Inu’s development team and content marketer, Kusama had hinted breaking his silence soon. This fueled the expectations and excitement of the SHIB community, and some believe that major announcements are on the horizon.
Kusama’s latest post hasn’t done much justice to this enthusiasm, as the cryptic post featured a bug-eyed emoji without further explanation. Additionally, the post was in response to a post made by Shiba Inu Metaverse advisor Marcie Jastrow about an nft collection called “MareBears” released in collaboration with media personality Paris Hilton. Notably, the nft post featured the depiction of a Shiba Inu dog’s head.
