Influencer Shares How a Friend Lost Making $120 Million in Shiba Inu

Shiba Inu was launched on August 1, 2020, and was a novice and obscure cryptocurrency. It barely received any attention during its launch and was just another meme coin that mushroomed in the markets. SHIB gained steam after it labeled itself the ‘Dogecoin Killer’ and competed for the top spot in the meme segment.
