Only SHIB Burns Not Sufficent

Shytoshi Kusama recently expressed his views on the connection between Shiba Inu price and burns in a recent telegram chat. As per the SHIB lead, Shytoshi Kusama, the price of Shiba Inu cannot be moved only based on burns. For this reason, the Shiba Inu team has been working on introducing new technologies and utilities for SHIB to increase its adoption. Only in this way can the Shiba Inu prices see a significant rise that everyone wants.

As of press time, Shiba Inu is trading at the price of $0.00001131, up 3.27% over the last day with a 24-hour trading volume of $255,901,544 ($255.90M).
