Shiba Inu 2.5% Away From Erasing A Zero: 'Prepare Your Heart (And Wallets),' Says Lead Developer

Shiba Inu SHIB/USD continues its strong network activity, with a cryptic message by the lead developer spurring speculation about big news in the near future.

What Happened: Shiba Inu’s pseudonymous lead developer Shytoshi Kusama created ripples in the Shiba Inu community by tweeting “Love is in the air” from the official X account on Feb. 12.

Later that day, the marketing lead of Shiba Inu, Lucie, shared a snapshot of a Telegram message by Kusama, which indicated something crucial for the Shiba Inu community. Both messages came ahead of Valentine’s Day.

The lead developer on Feb. 13 also posted “Single Shiboshi looking for new love… Is there any other Shiboshis out there looking forward to Valentine's Day?” Shiboshi is a collection of adorable Shiba Inu NFTs.

This prompted the following reaction from Kusama:

Ahhh there you are... https://t.co/DlQJYGLWBN
