Shiba Inu lead ambassador Shytoshi Kusama has clarified a misconception about his recent comment, particularly as it affects the price of $SHIB.

Kusama sounded spiritual in his string of new X posts, discussing his newfound enthusiasm around doctrines. Meanwhile, a particular comment is drawing attention among Shiba Inuenthusiasts, one they feel relates to the price trajectory of the prominent meme coin.

Key Points

• A tweet by Shytoshi Kusama stating that the “next appointed time” has arrived is drawing reactions from the Shiba Inu community.
• One reaction suggested that Kusama was discussing the appointed time for $SHIBto rally to $0.00055.
• However, Kusama quickly discarded this line of thought, clarifying that the tweet had nothing to do with the token’s price.
• Shiba Inu at $0.00055 would imply a market cap of $324 billion at the current circulating supply.

“Appointed Time” for Shiba Inu to $0.00055

One of Kusama’s tweets statedthat the “next appointed time” has arrived. While the $SHIBambassador mentioned other things, this part drew attention and elicited discussion in the community.

The comment received several interpretations, including those related to the price of Shiba Inu. For instance, Leeron Shim, a prominent community voice, suggested that Kusama was discussing the appointed time for $SHIBto rally. Specifically, Shim claimed the lead ambassador’s comments meant this was the time for $SHIBto reach $0.00055.

Notably, clamoring for much higher prices has been a long-standing desire in the Shiba Inu community. Despite recent downsides, proponents believe the future remains bright for the dog-themed meme coin, and the hope is what keeps the ecosystem buzzing.

The $0.00055 price markis one of the milestones that holders anticipate. It marks a 9,222% increase from the current market price and is well above the current all-time high of $0.0000885. As such, when Kusama’s “appointed time” tweet came, Shim took it to mean he was suggesting the time had come for $SHIBto hit the highly coveted price mark.

Nothing to Do with the Price of Shiba Inu

However, Kusama quickly discarded this line of thought. The lead ambassador replied that the tweet had absolutely nothing to do with the token’s price.

He further clarified it was about what he called a “global appointed time.” While he did not provide a clear context for this, Kusama claimed that those who feel the shift have chosen to ignore it.

this has nothing to do with the price of Shib. I speak of a global appointed time, and if you can't feel that… the shift… the weird vibes, nothing I say will convince you, you have been chosen to have your heart and ears closed in this last moment.

Notably, he seems willing to shed more light on this. In his earlier post, the lead ambassador had noted that he would explain his assertions in detail at a later date.

Can Shiba Inu to $0.00055 Ever Happen?

At this time, Shiba Inu remains well within bearish territory. After underperforming in the last bullish phase, its price has pulled back considerably from earlier highs. For context, the token sits 60% below its September high of $0.0000148.

Despite these, analysts point to a mid and long-term recovery, targeting prior highs and possibly unprecedented levels. But is $0.00055 plausible for Shiba Inu?

According to the prediction site Telegaon, Shiba Inu would begin approaching this price level after 2035. It set a maximum price of $0.000516 by 2035 but a minimum price of $0.000804 by 2040, suggesting that $SHIBwould attain this price mark between 2036 and 2040.

However, Changelly does not see $SHIBnearing this target even by 2050. Its maximum price target of $0.00000353 by 2050 is well below this ambitious price mark.

Notably, Shiba Inu at $0.00055 would imply a market cap of $324 billion if the current circulating supply of 589.24 trillion remains unchanged. Some view this as a big ask for a meme coin with little real-world use case, even if the sector does expand substantially in the future.
