The leader of the Shiba Inu development team, known under the pseudonym Shytoshi Kusama, took to social media platform X (previously popular as Twitter) to share a cryptic message with the SHIB army.
Shytoshi Kusama published the lyrics of a Taylor Swift song. There are two possibilities for what this could mean. Both could be important to the Shiba Inu community.
This is the message Kusama could be trying to convey
The song that Shytoshi Kusama shared some of the lyrics to is the song “Bad Blood” by Taylor Swift. The first possible interpretation here is that the SHIB leader is again hinting at the team’s plans to cooperate with the Bad Idea AI (BAD) team regarding certain SHIB-related AI initiatives.
Recently, Kusama shared a post from X to say that she had had a successful meeting with some of the BAD team members, where they discussed AI-based initiatives for SHIB.
The second interpretation of Kusama’s tweet has much less to do with technology and more to do with pop culture and adoption. Earlier this week, crypto payment processor BitPay announced that thanks to a new collaboration, it will help the crypto community purchase tickets to Taylor Swift’s new Eras Tour film.
Tickets can be purchased with SHIB, DOGE, XRP, BTC, ETH and more than a dozen other cryptocurrencies that BitPay works with.
Lucie, an official marketing expert for the SHIB team, posted an animated GIF with the song “Bad Blood” and added the hashtag $BAD.
Lucie warns against investing in dubious projects
Lucie also shared an important step-by-step guide for newcomers looking to invest in crypto projects: 12 instructions, including DYOR (do your own research), avoid overinvesting, and not using the money needed in the short term.
Lucie recommends allocating small amounts to invest at first, diversifying the portfolio to reduce potential losses, using trusted crypto exchanges and wallets, and keeping private keys to yourself. Separately, on her list of guidance is maintaining realistic expectations and avoiding impulsive decisions regarding buying and selling cryptocurrencies. “Be wary of scams and do your due diligence before investing in any project,” adds Lucie.
In particular, he warns against impulse buying FOMO (“fear of missing out”). Lucie concluded her post by saying: “Member, investing in cryptocurrencies can be exciting, but it’s important to take your time, learn and make thoughtful decisions to successfully navigate the market.”
