Shitoshi Kusama, the pseudonymous lead developer of the Shiba Inu Ecosystem (SHIB), recently gave his first interview, outlining a bold vision for the project. Kusama addressed speculation about his identity, clarifying that he is not tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, despite past cryptic posts.
However, his final remark on Page X – “When is the Elon Musk conversation? lol” – hinted at a possible future dialogue.
In conversation @elonmusk ? lol https://t.co/jIIKsGXFlN

Kusama’s recent conference appearances in Japan and India have focused on ambitious plans to expand the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Building on the foundation laid by founder Ryoshi, the team has created a thriving decentralized community in the Web3 landscape.
Their ultimate goal is to create the first trillion-dollar decentralized economy.
Dream or reality?
Shiba Inu (SHIB) is currently ranked 13th among the largest cryptocurrencies by market cap according to CoinMarketCap with a value of $9.56 billion. As of July 12, 2024, SHIB is worth around $0.00001649. This represents a slight increase of about 2% from the previous 24 hours.
Meanwhile, DOGE boasts a market cap of around $15.48 billion. To claim the top spot among memes, the Shiba Inu token still needs a staggering growth of at least 63%.
This rally will certainly not be a walk in the park. At the current state of affairs, the price of SHIB will have to rise substantially or the price of DOGE will have to fall for the former to close the gap.
