This tweet from Elon musk marks a new beginning for the Shiba crypto. So far, nobody really knows whether it was targeted at the dog or at the coin. However, if it was targeted at the crypto, I expect it to attract a lot of interest in the coming days.

To understand the power of Elon Musk on the crypto market, you need to study how he has managed to individually influence the price of Dogecoin.

Criticism

There is a divided opinion about one individual having the power to influence the market. Some regard it as manipulation. However, crypto trading has taught that investors will always follow where the money as opposed to the asset use.

Secondly, there is criticism as the crypto lacks any real use. Shiba Inu crypto is founded as a meme coin meant to compete with Dogecoin. This continues to raise questions about its sustainability in the long term.

Conclusion

No one really knows about the future of Shiba Inu. What is clear is that if Elon decides to continue talking about it, he will have a huge impact on its price.
