SHIB's Kusama Slams Twitter User, Calls Comment 'An Embarrassment'
Shiba Inu pseudonymous lead developer Shytoshi Kusama, like everyone else, has some disappointments and frustrations and they shared one of these very recently when they reproached a follower on the micro-blogging site Twitter.
Kusama is one of the major driving forces behind the impressive success of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, aside from its fierce and loyal community more popularly known as the Shib Army. During crypto winter or market crash, the lead developer would publish an encouraging Medium blog post or offer updates on various social media platforms.
Their tireless efforts of coming up with projects to add more use cases and utility to the dog-themed altcoin are slowly coming into fruition now with initiatives like "Shiba Eternity" CCG game, "SHIB: The Metaverse," and Shibarium layer-2 solution set to roll out sometime this year and beyond. With Kusama in the lead, finding ways to make SHIB strong and the community tightly-knit, it's no wonder why the Shib Army loves them.
But, like the proverbial "you cannot please everybody," not all in crypto Twitter recognize and appreciate the selfless sacrifice of the pseudonymous lead developer. On Wednesday, Kusama thanked "SHIB: The Metaverse" advisor Marcie Jastrow for the "new music ping'' and shared that it is currently playing "on repeat."
One Twitter user asked the lead developer if a holder of 1,000,000 SHIB can become a millionaire this year. Before Kusama could even respond, Twitter handle joegall responded to the inquiry saying, "You did not understand, Kusama does not want the wealth of the holders, but only his own. He will do nothing to burn this coin."
The Twitter user's sarcastic response did not sit well with those who read it, especially with Kusama, who seldom dismisses this kind of comment. Apparently, the lead developer has grown tired of Twitter users who live to spread negativity and FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt).
"Joe why would I spend this much time, effort and funds for JUST myself," Kusama said. "What you said is an embarrassment for yourself and all that read it," they added.
"This is the exact reason I don't look at Twitter mshs anymore. You can bring on the best, work tirelessly and it's STILL not enough," Kusama tweeted. Many Twitter users chimed in, dismissing the negative comment, including Microsoft CSE and tech specialist Ali Needazar, who happens to be one of the Shib Armies.
"True #SHIBARMY know you put your heart and soul 1000% in our community let #SHIB haters bark keep it up God bless you," Needazar said. Despite this, joegall appeared unsatisfied with Kusama's efforts and tweeted, "Beyond words, deeds are needed."
"In front of your licks you can have all the likes you want, but the truth is that you are not burning anything," the user said, seemingly addressing the comments made by the Shib Army. "Until now only we have done it and also heavily. It's never enough of a job if it's not effective. I am the voice of many dear Kusama."
In a follow-up tweet, joegall clarified that they are a SHIB holder too. "I believe in it and have never sold a cent to ensure that this coin always has my support. Everyone does his part, we are holders more than this we cannot do. It's up to you to move."
As of 1:42 a.m. ET Friday, SHIB, the native token of the Shiba Inu ecosystem was trading up 0.75% at $0.00001229 with a 24-hour trading volume of $287,161,156, based on the latest data from CoinMarketCap.
