According to David Gokhshtein’s recent tweet, Shiba Inu, the second largest meme coin, could “touch” the $0.001 mark. However, he does not reckon Shiba Inu can reach $1. Gokhshtein’s view on the coin’s price attracted lots of SHIB fans to the comments section; they rebuked the influencer, reminding him that the dev team of SHIB has not yet revealed an additional burn mechanism for the token.
Despite this pinch of salt, the founder of Gokhshtein Media expressed a more positive opinion about Shiba Inu in his earlier tweet, saying that it can attract numerous amateur investors to the giants of the crypto market, Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Jack Dorsey takes dig at Shiba Inu and Robinhood
Robinhood’s recent announcement about the Shiba Inu listing seems to puzzle Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey as he reacted to the investing app’s post with a question mark. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, in turn, responded to Dorsey’s tweet by asking when Twitter is going to introduce an edit button. It is not the first time a Twitter CEO took a dig at the meme coin.
