Shiba Inu Lead and Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin: Is a 10-Minute Conversation Coming

Shiba Inu lead developer Shytoshi Kusama is not relenting on his quest to pitch SHIB's potential to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin as he makes a fresh request for a discussion.  Kusama has again requested a 10-minute discussion with Buterin, during which he plans to showcase SHIB’s potential to the Ethereum co-founder. His latest request comes days after he initially requested a 10-minute pitch on SHIB.  Kusama Seeks to Explain ‘Why SHIB’ to Buterin  For context, Buterin suggested in a recent interview that Dogecoin (DOGE) deserves to rank as the second or third-biggest crypto by market cap. As Buterin’s comments gained popularity, Kusama requested a 10-minute discussion, dubbed ‘Why SHIB.’ Kusama hopes to utilize the opportunity to explain Shiba Inu’s potential, highlighting its technology, decentralized governance, and robust community, which could ultimately benefit Ethereum. He asked community members to call the Ethereum co-founder’s attention to the post.  However, Buterin has yet to respond to the request. While the reason behind the delay is unknown, Buterin’s X activity shows that he has not been very active on the platform since November 1, when Kusama made the request.  Shiba Inu Lead Asks Again  Notably, he posted a tweet yesterday, calling the attention of his followers to his proposal on Ethereum’s plans. Interestingly, the Shiba Inu leader took to the comment section to inquire about when Buterin would hold a 10-minute discussion with him.  “Wen 10-minute discussion?” the Shiba Inu leader quizzed. https://twitter.com/ShytoshiKusama/status/1854448836153913550 Again, Buterin has not responded to whether he would grant the request. Given Kusama’s determination, it is speculated that the Shiba Inu leader would not mind accepting any condition, including discussing it in person. However, this remains unconfirmed at press time. Nontheless, it is important to note that Kusama had previously held an in-person interview with Arabian Business magazine. Why Shiba Inu Enthusiasts Think Buterin Should Grant Kusama Request  Meanwhile, most Shiba Inu enthusiasts are still calling on Buterin to have a 10-minute discussion with their ecosystem lead. Some reasons fueling their demands include Shiba Inu’s launch on Ethereum and the token’s massive growth rate.  Shiba Inu is a major crypto project on the Ethereum blockchain. All Shiba Inu-related projects, including its blockchain and tokens, were deployed on Ethereum, attracting more users to the network.  According to top developer Kaal Dhairya, Shiba Inu is the only top 10 ERC-20 token that has remained loyal to the network since its launch. The developer argued that other top 10 tokens like USDT and USDC are not part of this consideration due to their presence on multiple blockchains.  Also, some users pointed to Shiba Inu’s lifetime growth rate as one major reason that Buterin should talk to Kusama. On October 30, the Shiba Inu leader claimed that Shiba Inu had registered a lifetime gain of 33,774,726%, making it the best-performing asset globally.
