🚀 Interview with the Shiba Inu Leaders
posted 13 Jul 2024
Shytoshi Kusama and Kaal Dhairya, the anonymous developers behind the iconic meme coin SHIB, recently sat down for a live interview with a journalist from Arabian Business in an undisclosed country.
Shytoshi Kusama debunked rumors that he is, in fact, the controversial entrepreneur Elon Musk.
I’m not Elon Musk. But I would like to talk to him, show him how it should be done,Kusama declared.
Before Shiba Inu, Kusama worked as an Uber driver in Los Angeles, while Dhairya delivered food in New York City. They met the legendary Shiba Inu creator, known as Ryoshi, in a Shiba Inu chat group with 6,000 members. It was then that they embraced the idea of building the world's largest crypto community and surpassing Dogecoin's success.
Today, they see meme tokens as gateways to introducing new people to the crypto industry and Shiba Inu as a catalyst for accelerating the global transition from Web2 to Web3 and decentralization. Their long-term goal is to create the first decentralized organization valued at over $1 trillion.
Businesses will either quickly move into Web3 in the next three to five years or be left in the dust. Some new brand will pop up that will have better engagement, or new revenue models, and the old business models won’t work. We want to look at every brand and say how can we help you, how can we create the perfect strategy to bring any business, person or country into Web3.
When asked about revealing their identities, both made it clear they have no plans to do so:
We need to create something that can run without us. If there is no Elon Musk, there is no Tesla. If there is no Shy or Kaal, you will still have Shibu,Kusama replied.
Shytoshi noted that they already have considerable wealth, and wealthy individuals attract unwanted attention. By remaining anonymous, they can expect better treatment from others.
"Look, at the end of this year, we will hand everything over to the community and we step away — right now we are leads, by the end of the year there will be committees of people who will lead certain things. So why come out? What would we gain? There is no reason to ever tell anyone who we really are,Kusama added.
