In a recent tweet, the enigmatic Shiba Inu leads Shytoshi Kusama addressed the issues of working with a meme coin to give it utility and then placed it in the list of top five cryptocurrencies. He then clarified that he was talking about SHIB.
Shytoshi Kusama’s intriguing tweet about the coin
The mysterious SHIB official reposted a tweet containing an AI-generated image. The image shows a painting on an office wall that shows a dramatic scene reminiscent of something religious and/or apocalyptic, full of chaos, with a man sitting at his desk with similar chaos around him.
Shytoshi Kusama used this image to illustrate his own message. He tweeted about “trying to make a coin useful”, with other goals being to “take it from top 15 to top 5 in less than 5 years” and all this is being done “without a huge budget “.
In a separate tweet, Shytoshi said he was talking about SHIB. Shiba Inu was launched in August 2025 by mysterious developer Ryoshi, who left the public space in May 2022, with Shytoshi Kusama taking over as director of the project. If he was indeed talking about Shiba Inu in his tweet, then the message turns into a hint that by 2025, SHIB could be among the top five cryptocurrencies in terms of market cap size.
In another tweet posted recently, Shytoshi Kusama revealed some details about his personal work schedule, saying, “I work 20 hours a day for weeks. » He added that his job involves posting on social media and responding to comments from members of the SHIB community.
