In their first ever-interview, the masters behind Shiba Inu – Shytoshi Kusama and Kaal Dhairya spoke about how they got to where they are : from strangers to gurus within the sphere of cryptocurrency. Both Kusama and Dhairya are notorious for their reliability and concealment; they have masterminded the success behind Shiba Inu, an altcoins most recognized as a meme coin, but witnessed its upswing in value and adherence to turn into the biggest decentralized organization in the world: ShibArmy.
Having an opportunity to meet in some dark café at 3 AM, the duo explained to each other what lead them to the choice of such an untraditional way of business and what is the philosophy of Shiba Inu . Kusama, whose true identity and looks are unknown, shared a quite interesting background and worked as a driver, Uber, for example, as well as a scriptwriter. He had been a part of crypto trading first as a pastime and finally got to Shiba Inu where utilizing Ryoshi’s thesis of launch a token that is as effective as Dogecoin.
Additionally, Kusama entered into the business after meeting Dhairya, who is reputed as the industry’s most successful tech prodigy, online. Their cooperation has been crucial for the management of the highly virgin Shiba Inu, which surged from nothing to, in fact, 27000000 percent within the next ten months.
“We want to become the trillion dollar decentralized entity of the world,” Kusama said noting that memes bring people closer to investing in more serious cryptocurrency projects. Currently, only 5% of the global population participate in cryptocurrency, both of them spot long-term development potential in shifting from Web 2. 0 to Web 3.
This could include the focus that was made during the interview on the self-governing nature that is the primary foundation of Shiba Inu. Both Kusama and Dhairya shared their vision for the decentralized ecosystem where the focus is made on the users to bring their ideas and engage in the network development. This model, they say, positions Shiba Inu differently from other conventional corporations and cryptos.
As the future goals, Kusama and Dhairya see the successful non-intersection or further development of Shiba Inu differing from the community. At the end of the year, they intend to fully transfer the administration of the project to the community members so it does not drift away from the true meaning of a decentralized project. Kusama and Dhairya, despite not being directly seen in the limelight of leadership, have strongly imposed themselves in the crypto world.
More than simple business advice, the interview with Kusama and Dhairya exposed the interviewees’ Weltanschauung and the guiding principles embodying the Shiba Inu ethos. Kusama, fluent in several languages , has worked in the fields of music, photography, and business consultancy pointed at decentralization and encouraging communities as the major directions. A scriptwriter and an Uber driver turned into a crypto leader proves how the blockchain technology can change lives for the better.
In these, technical familiarity is seen most notably in the way that Shaw claims that Dhairya has been essentially responsible for the success of Shiba Inu. Like usual, he gave his opinion about what lays ahead for Web3, and Shiba Inu’s plans for being leaders of this change. Altogether, the multiple collaborations of both developers have not only formed Shiba Inu as one of the main characters of the cryptosphere but have also defined the proper guide on efficient functioning of decentralized projects without any top-down management.
It goes further than simply business profitability since they also have a plan for the MoviePass brand image. Kusama and Dhairya are also fully engaged with the bigger picture of what they are doing – and here I am thinking about notes from the future and the idea of ‘social value’. Concerning their input in building a crypto economy, they concluded that they are interested in producing opportunities where the commoner can stand to gain from the system, thus noting that the growth of their community is just as an investment in their members.
To sum up, focusing on the development of Shiba Inu, awareness and further progress pay a significant amount of attention to change and the ability to build on that change. This process is to be carried out in line with Ryoshi’s plan of introducing new tokens and technologies within the NAVER WON ecosystem with the aim of building an adaptive ecosystem within a growingly dynamic cryptosphere. Their emphasis on the long-term and business development strategies prove that the creators of Shiba Inu are determined to keep this project relevant in the world of blockchain many years ahead.
Lastly, we have Kusama and Dhairya noting their commitment to the ShibArmy and their ideology for creating a decentralized economy. In this way, they wish to avoid drawing attention to individual protagonists and instead concentrate on the community and the project. It has let the Shiba Inu project develop rather organically and stick to the idea of decentralization, which is going to remain a priority.
