SHIB developer Karl Dahlia pointed to recent targeted attacks against real Shiba Inu teams and said this strategy is meant to bring them down.
Dahlia said in a tweet that he has recently observed a pattern of targeted remarks directed at the “real” Shiba Inu team. This team is said to be a category of people who have spent many years training energetically for SHIB and have achieved a proven track record.
Lately, I’ve been seeing a pattern of targeted remarks directed at the actual team, the people who have spent years tirelessly building and achieving results for Shib.
This is a classic strategy. Bashing others down to sell snake oil.
I personally vouch for it… https://t.co/jWqzzOa8hY

Dahlia describes these targeted attacks as a classic strategy of “bringing people down to sell snake oil.”
The Shiba Inu developer’s comments follow a statement by Shiba Inu-focused publication The Shib, which addressed harmful claims circulating on social media that certain community developments went unreported due to personal conflicts or social conflicts.
Shiba Inu was launched five years ago in August 2020 by Ryoshi, the mysterious creator who laid out his pioneering vision for the “Doge Killer” in the world of cryptocurrencies.
Five years later, the Shiba Inu community has grown to 1,553,386 SHIB holders, according to etherscan data.
$1.93 billion crash hits crypto market
The cryptocurrency market fell for more than a month early Friday, with an additional $1.93 billion in leveraged positions liquidated, according to data from CoinGlass.
Selling pressure has increased over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin fell to a low of $81,385, the biggest monthly decline since the crypto winter of 2022.
Major cryptocurrencies, including Shiba Inu, also fell sharply, dropping 9.71% to $0.000007793 in the past 24 hours, and dropping 15% for the week.
On Friday, the Shiba Inu hit a year-to-date low of $0.0000071, which was last recorded in October 2023. From the high of $0.00001026 on November 11th, Shiba Inu has suffered losses in 9 out of 11 days, including today.
Global market conditions and declining retail sentiment are contributing to the ongoing crypto downturn. The market has struggled to find new buyers since the October crash, and the momentum that had supported prices at the beginning of the year has evaporated.
