As a community project, SHIKOKU reminds the community that selling Buterin means there are no whales in the project and they can fully focus on becoming a “truly decentralized community.” Shikoku states that it is decentralized and does not have a tax, thus, it could be the next meme currency in the crypto industry.
Explaining their commitment to society, Shikoku expressed:
Here at Shikoku we always put the community first. We have always worked for those who care about our vision the most.
Shikoku also states that it also anticipated this as a potential danger, and believes Buterin’s actions will be a blessing in disguise on its way to becoming “a true societal experiment in decentralization”. Currently, only the official SHIK is available on the net.
Buterin’s action comes as no surprise as many cryptocurrencies have fallen into the red after experiencing turmoil this week. Moreover, many cryptocurrency analysts and influencers have noted a rise in FUD across the community as the prices of those digital assets continue to drop. However, the crypto community remains confident and believes that this is just a current hindrance.
