The cryptocurrency world is buzzing after Shytoshi Kusama, the mysterious lead developer and co-founder of the Shiba Inu (SHIB/USD) ecosystem, posted a cryptic message on X. The tweet, a repost of a message from another user, Tsukiyomi Mishima, reads: “I think this will be the last chapter to my story…” The post also features “The Great Wave off Kanagawa,” a famous woodblock print by the artist Hokusai.
The cryptic nature of the message, coupled with its allusions to Japanese mythology and art, has sparked widespread speculation. Many believe that Kusama is hinting at his potential departure from the Shiba Inu project, similar to his predecessor, Ryoshi, who left in 2022.
For those unfamiliar, “Tsukiyomi” refers to the god of the moon in Japanese mythology, while “Mishima” could be a reference to the author Yukio Mishima. The inclusion of “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” adds to the intrigue, potentially symbolizing a wave of change in the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
Earlier in July, Kusama stated that the Shiba Inu team was nearing the completion of Ryoshi’s vision for a fully decentralized system, suggesting that he, too, would eventually step back from the project.
However, the true meaning behind Kusama’s message remains a mystery. While some interpret it as a sign of his departure, others believe it may be a symbolic representation of Shiba Inu’s journey to the moon – a popular cryptocurrency phrase representing a significant price increase.
Regardless of its meaning, the message has ignited speculation within the cryptocurrency community, further fueling the mystery surrounding the Shiba Inu ecosystem and its enigmatic leadership.
