Shiba Inu’s price potential has captured the imaginations of many, envisioning a meteoric rise to $0.1 or even $1. While this dream seems enticing, closer examination reveals that its trajectory is much more complex. At Captain Altcoin, we’ve delved into the math behind Shiba Inu (SHIB) and discovered that current conditions make reaching such a price unlikely. 589 trillion tokens in circulation mean that achieving a market cap of even $0.1 would require an unprecedented scale of growth. Even if SHIB were to reach $0.01, it would surpass the total value of today’s entire cryptocurrency market. While token burns do have some impact on supply reduction, their effect is incredibly minimal compared to the enormous circulating supply of SHIB – even at a burn rate of billions of tokens daily for years, this wouldn’t make much of a dent. 589 trillion tokens would need to be eliminated to reach $0.1, and such a task would require years, potentially thousands of years worth of burns. 0.001 is another hurdle; even achieving that through burning alone requires a massive scale of activity and sustained growth in the SHIB ecosystem. Shibarium, with its layer-2 network design, offers a potential solution. The goal is to generate fees through transactions which convert into SHIB that’s then burned, potentially creating a significant burn mechanism. However, this depends on widespread adoption. The current situation sees daily activity and total value locked (TVL) in Shibarium remain significantly low. This lack of real-world adoption limits the potential for large-scale burns to impact SHIB price significantly. It’s worth comparing SHIB with Dogecoin: its liquidity is deeper, it has established merchant acceptance, and enjoys years of brand recognition. Despite this, the mathematical hurdles surrounding SHIB’s supply remain a constant factor that limits price growth in comparison to Dogecoin’s smaller supply structure. A realistic outlook for SHIB price lies within achievable milestones like hitting $0.00003 or $0.00001. This is possible if demand and utility grow. However, reaching $0.1 is unlikely unless a dramatic event like near-total token wipes out or an influx of trillions of dollars into the project occurs. The numbers don’t lie; while SHIB’s community remains passionate and developers are creative, its price will continue to play a role in the meme coin sector, but investors need to be realistic. This analysis provides insight into why SHIB’s potential price is limited by mathematical factors.
