Someone sent $0 worth of a dog coin to a man who didn't ask for it. He turned it into the largest crypto donation in history. In August 2020 an anonymous person calling himself Ryoshi launched Shiba Inu with one quadrillion tokens > It had no investors, no VCs or a press release. > His plan, written in something he called a "woofpaper", was to send 50% of the entire supply directly to Vitalik Buterin. > He just sent him 500 trillion SHIB tokens to his wallet without warning. > His reason was: "There is no greatness without a vulnerable point. As long as VB doesn't rug us, Shiba will grow and thrive." > He intentionally made the co-founder of Ethereum the single largest holder of his memecoin as a marketing strategy without ever telling him. > Vitalik woke up one day with 50% of a dog coin sitting in his wallet and had no idea what to do with it. > By May 2021 those tokens were worth over $1 billion. > He donated 50 trillion SHIB to India's COVID-19 relief fund > Worth $1.2 billion at the time it was the largest crypto donation in history. > Then burned 410 trillion of the remaining tokens, destroying $6.7 billion in a single transaction > Saying he didn't want to be a "locus of power" in a dog coin project. > SHIB pumped on the news of the burn. > In May 2022 Ryoshi deleted every account, every blog post, every trace of himself and disappeared. > His last words: "I am not important, and one day I will be gone without notice. Take the SHIBA and journey upwards frens." > Nobody knows who he is. He never sold a single token. The coin he built reached a $40 billion market cap. None of it was supposed to work and all of it did. $SHIB
