This will ensure that Shiba Inu is a self-sustaining, decentralized ecosystem that requires no leaders, just as the SHIB founder intended.
How Ryoshi Left Space
Ryoshi, Founder of Shiba Inu has managed to remain anonymous despite the enormous popularity of the meme currency project. To further solidify its anonymity, the SHIB Founder Deleted All Traces of His History from all social media accounts, including X Posts (formerly Twitter) and Medium.
Following this, Ryoshi has completely disappeared from the community, leaving lead developer Shytoshi Kusama in charge of the project. Before disappearing, Ryoshi had already hinted at this when he said: “I am not important, and one day I will leave without warning. Take the SHIBA and travel upwards, my friends.”
