Kaal Dhairya, the Shiba Inu (SHIB) developer, unsealed his lips during the week. The pitch of his voice was strong. The meaning of his words was plain. He claimed that a pattern was developing in the dark places of the internet, a pattern of deliberate strikes against the “real” Shiba Inu team-the few builders who have sacrificed a lot of their time for the project for years.
Dhairya did not mince his words and labelled it,
“A strategy as old as time. Tear others down so you can sell your snake oil.”
He did not want to beautify it; he did not want to make it palatable; he just exposed it.

The Shib, a media house that is heavily involved in the SHIB ecosystem, released a statement. The outlet had to protect itself against the gossip that it was neglecting certain segments of the community due to internal differences. Dhairya considered this as another attack. Same shadows. Same intent.
Shiba Inu has suffered through problems previously. The cryptocurrency was started in August 2020, created by the mysterious Ryoshi, who imagined a “Doge Killer.” That vision has moved millions ever since, 1,553,386 holders as stated by Etherscan. Not a community of promises, but of hard work and waiting.
Outside the theatre, the market showed its teeth, and business is biting hard. The larger crypto market could not withstand the pressure of $1.93 billion worth of liquidation leading to a huge sell-off.
The scene of the massacre was set in one night when in one instant, all the leveraged positions were cleared. Bitcoin descended to a record low of $81,385 which marked the worst month for Bitcoin since the frigid winter of 2022.
Shiba Inu also faced the same fate. The price declined by 9.71% within 24 hours and 15% for the week, ending at $0.000007793. Last Friday, it reached a new annual bottom, $0.0000071, that hadn’t been witnessed since October 2023.
The market has lost its momentum. The last eleven days have seen nine close with red candles. The new buyers remain in the background. Retail sentiment has weakened, just like the fog that has been dispersed by the morning sun.
However, the Shiba Inu community has proven their endurance instincts. They have spent five years in the continuous processes of construction, argument, dreaming, and reconstruction. They have experienced the heights that attracted the world’s attention and the depths that pushed their faith to the limits.
The assaults might be painful. The rates could go down. However, Shiba Inu’s core has always been uncomplicated, to be strong and do not leave your position when the tempest comes.
