Shiba Inu Dev Corrects Vitalik Buterin on SHIB Donations

Main Idea

Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya corrected Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin for omitting the significant role of SHIB tokens in funding the CryptoRelief initiative, highlighting past donations and burns of SHIB tokens.

Key Points

1. Kaal Dhairya pointed out that Vitalik Buterin failed to acknowledge the billions in SHIB tokens that contributed to the CryptoRelief initiative.

2. Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao donated $10 million in BNB to Buterin's biotech project, which Buterin publicly thanked him for.

3. Ryoshi, Shiba Inu's creator, sent Buterin 50% of the total SHIB supply (500 trillion tokens), of which Buterin burned 410 trillion (worth $6.7 billion at the time) in May 2021.

4. Around $1 billion worth of SHIB tokens were donated to the CryptoRelief fund founded by Polygon Foundation CEO Sandeep Nailwal.

5. The Shiba Inu community expressed dissatisfaction with Buterin's omission of SHIB's contributions despite its significant role in past donations.
