Recently, there has been a heated discussion in the crypto assets field about "people's currency." Lucie, a representative of the SHIB (Shiba Inu) community, confidently declared that SHIB is the people's currency of the past, present, and future. This viewpoint has sparked quite a controversy.
However, before this, Tesla CEO Elon Musk had already labeled Dogecoin (DOGE) as "the people's currency." Musk believes that from the perspective of payment functionality, DOGE has advantages over Bitcoin and could become a dark horse in the payment sector.
From a market performance perspective, DOGE currently ranks 8th in the crypto assets leaderboard, with a market capitalization of $35.4 billion, demonstrating a strong market position. In contrast, SHIB has recently fallen to 22nd place, with a market capitalization of about $7.9 billion. Although there is a significant market capitalization gap between the two, this does not mean that the competition is over.
In fact, both SHIB and DOGE originate from meme coins in internet culture, and their popularity largely depends on community support and market sentiment. As a newcomer, SHIB currently has a smaller market capitalization, but its rapid rise cannot be overlooked.
Which cryptocurrency can truly become the "people's currency" remains a question worth discussing. This involves not only technical characteristics and market performance but also user acceptance, regulatory environment, and other factors.
Both SHIB and DOGE face tremendous challenges and uncertainties to truly become the "Renminbi". Whether they can stand out in fierce market competition ultimately depends on their ability to meet user demands and continuously progress in areas such as technological innovation, community building, and practical applications.
With the continued development of the crypto assets market, we will witness how the competition over "the people's currency" evolves. Regardless of the outcome, this competition itself will drive progress and innovation throughout the entire crypto assets ecosystem.
