Shytoshi Kusama says what can move SHIB price up in future
Earlier this week, the leader of the SHIB development team, known to the community as Shytoshi Kusama, responded to a commentator who complained that the SHIB price has not moved an inch recently.
Kusama “shared a secret” that only hard work can help the price of the popular meme coin grow. In the meantime, the main brainchild of Shytoshi after SHIB (which he launched together with Ryoshi) is Layer-2 blockchain Shibarium.
In was launched on Aug. 15, then relaunched after a collapse due to a mind-blowing inflow of traffic. Now, since the almost 40 days since the second release, Shibarium has managed to reach several milestones; the number of transfers on this network has surpassed a 3.3 million record, while the total count of mined blocks has surged over the one million level.
