Shiba Inu SHIB news

Shibburn Alleges The Shiba Inu Ecosystem Is ‘Rigged’, Here’s Why

In what could be a significant shake-up for the SHIB community, Shibburn, the well-known burn tracker, has come forth with a flurry of allegations against the Shiba Inu project’s leadership. The detailed accusations touch on a variety of issues from historical revisionism to financial impropriety, and even extend to the governance and ethical standing of the project’s core team.

Shibburn’s statement begins with a historical correction: “Shibburn was the first actual project to launch for $SHIB, a month and 2 weeks before ShibaSwap.” This claim contests the narrative pushed by the Shiba Inu team that positions ShibaSwap as the cornerstone of the SHIB evolution. Shibburn accuses the team of historical revisionism, alleging they believe “their projects are the only ones that matters.”

The accusations escalate as Shibburn details a campaign by the Shiba Inu team to discredit them, claiming, “They didn’t like the attention we gained before and tried to stop us around the end of August ’21, by running a campaign against us that said ‘No to burns,’ where many started calling us ‘scammers.'”

Shiba Inu Ecosystem Is ‘Rigged’

Addressing Shytoshi Kusama’s handling of criticism, Shibburn states, “Shytoshi tends to hide from the truth a lot. It’s why they want anyone who calls them out, ‘the Fudders,’ eliminated.” This quote implies a strategic approach by Shytoshi to deflect attention from legitimate questions and criticisms.

Shibburn further delves into financial allegations, stating, “And now we find out that Ryoshi (the founders) own over $1B USD and moved them into separate wallets in order to hide their tracks, thanks to the tools offered by Bubblemaps, we’re able to see that.” This challenges the earlier claims of Ryoshi and the founding team about not owning significant amounts of SHIB, suggesting financial misconduct.

I knew Ryoshi was a made up character, created by a group of greedy investors looking to profit off this community, therefore created a story looking for more ways to cash in using the SHIB name, and use Shiba Inu as their golden goose, in order to promote anything they can to enrich themselves with.

In a scathing critique of the ShibaSwap platform, Shibburn says, “Later I discovered that Shytoshi was not even a real dev, and that ShibaSwap is just a SushiSwap fork with no actual changes to it.” They also accuse the Shiba Inu team of giving themselves a large amount of BONE for minimal effort, questioning the integrity of their work.

The allegations extend to the management of the community and the overarching narrative. Shibburn describes the situation as, “They’ve been making all the decisions in that ‘ecosystem,’ setting themselves up for life, while claiming that it’s what YOU, the Shiba Inu community, wanted and built. You will never have any control or voting power, simply because it’s rigged.”

SHIB Decentralized And Manipulated?

Moreover, Shibburn raises concerns about centralization and manipulation within the project. They bring to light concerns over the community’s direction under the team’s leadership, describing it as a deviation from decentralized ethos to a more cult-like following, wherein any deviation from the “official” narrative is not tolerated.

In a detailed account of what they describe as the ‘Shib Files,’ Shibburn takes aim at the broader ecosystem’s governance, highlighting what they perceive as manipulative tactics employed by the team. They claim that the new SHIB magazine and other communication channels are being used to mislead the community, and that the term “official” is being co-opted by the team to present their projects as the only legitimate developments within the SHIB ecosystem:

They reach out to people, presenting themselves as the official team for SHIB, and have misled exchanges, other crypto related sites, and recently celebrities and non-profits about Shibarium. Surprisingly, many are okay with it as long as they can get any famous person to mention SHIB, despite knowing they’ve been misled.

Shibburn concludes with a call to action, urging the community to hold the leadership accountable: “Please be aware that partnering with Shytoshi’s Shibarium is not a ‘Shib Partnership’… It’s a partnership for Shibarium and BONE, if anything. Shibarium is NOT the official SHIB blockchain.”

These allegations, coming from a notable figure in the Shiba Inu community, raise serious questions about the governance, ethics, and transparency of the Shiba Inu project. The SHIB community now awaits responses and potential rebuttals from Shytoshi Kusama and the Shiba Inu team.

At press time, SHIB traded at $0.00000804
