Shiba Inu Basks In Limelight As Telegram Scorches DOGE In New Features Announcement

April 28, 2024

In what can only be described as a tail-wagging turn of events, Telegram’s announcement of its latest feature has left cryptocurrency buffs, particularly the Shib Army and Dogecoin enthusiasts, howling with confusion and delight, as dog content takes the lead and seemingly paints a message that the instant messaging app has slyly scorched Elon Musk’s beloved Dogecoin over SHIB.

Cryptic Canine Clues

Over a hectic weekend marked by unexpected outages and fervent discussions on X (formerly Twitter), Pavel Durov’s Telegram introduced a raft of intriguing new features. Amid this announcement, a fleeting glimpse of a channel named “Doge” captured the attention of cryptocurrency aficionados, particularly the Shib Army.

The Telegram channel piqued its nose with a description too paws-itively cheeky to ignore: “The Doge Post: Today more about treats, less about leashes. #BarkLife.” At first glance, it’s a harmless ode to pooches, but to those in the cryptosphere, it’s a belly rub laced with insider jokes.

In the left corner of the ring, wearing the fluffy white coat is every SHIB holder wagging their tails in excitement. Why? Because “TREAT” and “LEASH” are not just dog park lingo; they’re SHIB’s crypto assets ready to play fetch in the crypto market. “TREAT” is the upcoming token that’ll fuel the recently announced SHIB’s L3 Privacy Chain, while “LEASH” stands growling as the “Doge Killer,” boasting a supply as fixed as a bulldog’s stare.

Over in the right corner, with the old-school Dogecoin fans, there’s some growling under the breath. As Shiba Inu’s pseudonymous leader, Shytoshi Kusama, watched the Telegram chaos unfold, they couldn’t help but let out a snicker. “Is Telegram just throwing us a bone, or are we now playing fetch in meme coins park?” asked Kusama, wagging a metaphorical finger at the fun unfolding.

“Looking forward to talking with our TG frens,” the pseudonymous lead developer of the Shib ecosystem told The Shib Daily.

Furry Profile Mysteries

Interestingly, while its content seems unrelated to Shiba Inu or Dogecoin, the channel’s profile picture might just twitch a few whiskers in curiosity. Featuring a hooded doggie with only its curious nose poking out, this enigmatic image raises eyebrows. Could this hooded figure be a playful nod to a well-known, mysterious figure in the crypto community, often depicted as a shadowy, hooded character, i.e., Shytoshi Kusama himself, or is it simply a clever tease crafted by the Telegram team?

As Telegram sets its sights on dog-centric delights, it might have just unleashed the ultimate game of tug-of-war between the meme coin mutts. Whether this will give SHIB a leg up it needs to out-bark Doge or just ends up as the internet’s new favorite chew toy is anyone’s guess. But one thing is certain: in the world of cryptocurrency, Shiba Inu’s bark is as good as its byte.
