Shock in the Shiba Inu community: Shibarium is challenged by an announcement from Shytoshi Kusama

The prominent developer and perhaps the leading spokesperson for all things Shiba Inu (SHIB), under the pseudonym Shytoshi Kusama, has shared New information about the release of Shibarium, the long-awaited ecosystem-based Tier 2 solution built on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

This message from @ShytoshiKusama earlier today makes #Shibarium launch on Valentine’s day look unlikely IMO.$SHIB $BONE pic.twitter.com/VdmDxt1OZg

What’s new in Shibarium?

In one of the Shiba Inu community channels, in response to a complaint that the developer does not reveal exact release dates, but uses the word ” soon “, Shytoshi stated that “there can be no clarification. “I don’t have an exact date because the release of Shibarium is not by switch“, he said.

It can be said that with these words, the developer has cooled all speculation about a possible release of Shibarium as early as February 14. Before that, Actucrypto.info also noted that the release of the Valentine’s Day protocol is in doubt, when Shytoshi Kusamannonx deleted the hint about it from his Twitter bio.

Now there’s only one dot in the developer’s bio, which was also enough to generate a new wave of rumors and conspiracy theories when Elon Musk tweeted the symbol a few days ago. Overly attentive members of the community instantly connected the dots and started debating what it could mean. Interestingly, at the same time, other crypto-currency projects also started responding to Elon Musk with the symbol.
