Kusama’s enigmatic tweet sparked excitement within the Shiba Inu community. Many interpreted his reference to the moon as a hint that Shiba Inu ecosystem tokens—SHIB, BONE, and LEASH—are poised for significant price increases, or heading ‘to the moon.’ This phrase in the crypto world signifies a strong belief in the potential for a token’s value to rise significantly.

Moon’s Dual Significance

While crypto investors latched onto the financial implication, the moon holds additional significance in Islam. Its sighting marks the commencement of various festivities, including Eid-el-Kabir. This year, Muslims celebrated Eid-el-Kabir on June 15-16. This period also included Father’s Day, International Day of Family Remittances, Bloomsday, and Veggies Day.

Acknowledging the significance of this period, Kusama extended warm holiday wishes to the Shiba Inu community. His tweet resonated deeply, blending cultural significance with the community’s crypto aspirations.

Kusama Breaks Silence On X

Notably, Kusama had been inactive on X (formerly Twitter) prior to this post. His last tweet on June 5 thanked Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin for discussing the rise of celebrity-owned memecoins. Buterin outlined three criteria for these memecoins to gain his respect: having a public-good goal, demonstrating over ten-year longevity, and incorporating fun mechanics beyond trading.

Couldn't be better timing. Walking into a meeting now to close exactly this. Well, almost exactly- we are thinking much bigger than this and on a massive scale. I'll show this to the team for validation. Thanks Woofmeister. 🙂 @VitalikButerin https://t.co/Y4luBnR1OE

With the lead developer recent tweet, the Shiba Inu lead is expected to become more active on X, sharing interesting updates about ongoing developments.
