The story behind $SHIB
In August 2020, someone called Ryoshi launched Shiba Inu with $3,000 of liquidity on Uniswap. No presale, no VC money, no team tokens, only a dog memecoin as an alternative to DOGE.
Then Ryoshi did something nobody expected, sent 50% of all SHIB to Vitalik Buterin without asking, and it turned into one of crypto's most iconic moments. Important to say that Vitalik burned most of the tokens and donated the rest to India's COVID relief fund.
The name Ryoshi means "fisherman" in Japanese. Nobody knows if it's one person or a group. In May 2022, everything connected with Ryoshi was deleted - all blog posts, all tweets, and the creator disappeared. The last message was: "I am not important, and one day I will be gone without notice. Take the SHIB and journey upwards frens"
The project kept building after the founder vanished with ShibaSwap, Shibarium, metaverse, NFTs appearance. The project that was built by someone who called themselves nobody.
