1. The Mystery of Shiba Inu's Anonymous Founder 'Riyoshi'
In 2011, a mysterious anonymous Twitter account was created.
The creator of the account would later be known as Riyoshi and
then later, Shiba Inu’s Founder of PoW Mining in January 2013.
The anonymous founder of Shiba Inu coins started out by
tweeting crypto jokes, but when Bitcoin started gaining traction in
2013, the anonymous founder began mining and trading Bitcoin
like the rest of us.
A mystery crypto founder?
Many were shocked when a different name was attached to one
of crypto’s most popular currencies. A Twitter user claiming to be

2. behind cryptocurrency Shiba Inu Coin (SHIBE) claimed a
different person had been responsible for creating and
developing its blockchain—and named them as Riyoshi
Nakamoto. When asked if that was his real name, he replied: No.
Just someone who really liked Dogecoin before it became cool to
like it. That Tweet has since been deleted.
What do we know about him?
Nobody knows anything about Riyoshi. Not his name, where he
lives, what he looks like or even whether he is male or female.
He (or she) operates under a set of rules: #1 - Be kind and
respectful to others #2 - Do not ask for an upvote or downvote #3
- Do not tag other users directly in your posts #4 - Share original
content from creators you love and respect to gain Karma. At
one point over 250 people were following him, including myself
so I can tell you he has followers but they're hidden due to his
anonymous nature.
Who is he (or she)?
The anonymous founder’s true identity remains unknown. Many
are wondering what kind of person would create a currency for
Shiba Inus? And who could possibly be interested in something
like that? Not much is known about Riyoshi, but we did some
digging and found someone who knew him from way back in
elementary school. Read on to find out what he had to say!

3. A brief history of SHIBE coins
Since October 1, 2017, a coin called SHIBE (SHI-be) has been
on a steady incline in price. SHIBE trades on only two
exchanges: Liqui and Cryptopia. According to CoinMarketCap,
these two exchanges have a total 24 hour trading volume of $16
million USD. That’s right – despite an apparent 500% rise in
price over a 30 day period, there is barely any trading volume.
What gives?
Are shibes still investing in the coin?
Some shibes are still hanging on to their SHIBE. Some though,
have moved on to other coins, like DOGE, or even bitcoin (BTC).
I no longer believe in [the coin] and I don’t think there is anything
we can do about it, one redditor wrote. Some Shibes were upset
that he left without warning. Others were excited for him and
wanted him to pursue his interests.
Can you mine Shibe coins?
