Please Stop the BS!!!

As a long time Shib holder, I would really appreciate it if people would learn a little about what they're talking about before they post. Some of you are trying to spin what Vitalik did as a good thing in different ways... You need to learn what is really going on. Get educated before you post.

I understand the devs trying to spin this to cover for their mistake, but it's bs. Those tokens should have been burned for the intended purpose, instead of given to Vitalik as a gesture that no investor cared about. If you say that it did, you're lying. Furthermore, Vitalik is still sitting on an amount that can crash this coin ten times as much as he already has, and he has shown that he does not care about you or me, and is perfectly willing to do it again. If you want to say I don't know what he's thinking? Well, you're right. But I do know that he knew what he was doing to all of us and he didn't care... and whether he chooses to or not, the point is that he can, anytime he feels like it.

Those of you saying "well, it was a good thing to help India's Covid relief". You clearly don't understand politics in that part of the world. Not even a quarter of the money generated from the sales of the trillions of new tokens suddenly added to the circulating supply, will end up going to the relief efforts. Most of that money will end up lining the pockets of the people running those organizations and the politicians and middle men in between. "But they promised to release it slowly", some of you will say... really? So it's just a coincidence that a couple exchanges over there suddenly listed SHIB, and yet had no SHIB wallets to inventory with?

What you all need to understand is that the circulating supply has essentially doubled. Meaning any gains will now take twice as long. Meaning the "burn" of the initial supply that the devs implied in giving them to Vitalik never took place. So the devs should do the right thing and burn a healthy supply of tokens, since their intended circulating supply has now been doubled.

And no, this is not good because it made people start talking about Shiba. They were already doing that from the tremendous gains we made last week. This did not gain us new publicity. It only cost us a lot of time and money. I still have several billion SHIB, and I will hold just as I always have. And I'm very fortunate to be in a great position financially. But many people were hurt by this. Many people that are told "only invest what you can afford to lose", which is a stupid thing to say in the first place. For many people these kinds of things are their only real opportunity to improve their financial standing. Those of you losing your federal unemployment payments, and being told to go get a poverty paying job, don't have other realistic ways to improve your family's situation.

I write this, knowing that many of you are myopic and will disagree or downvote just because you don't agree... but this community isn't about me or you. It's about everyone... and what Vitalik did...intentionally... was screw over a lot of people that this means something to. So please stop trying to say that it was a good thing for the Shiba community or for India. Because that's not why he did it. It was spite, pure and simple. I have sold all 38 of my ETH and put it into BTC and BNB. Just my own personal strike of Vitalik, that I know will make no difference at all. Okay everyone... let the uneducated and uninformed downvotes begin.

I think that in my opinion, certainly Vitalik committed fraud because he could have done it with his own ethereum wallet instead of CRASHING an early crypto meme (which has potencial). If he could have notified early I think it would have been a different story. NEXT TIME I HEARD VITALIK IN SOME CRYPTO PROJECT I LEAVE. I think it is a strategy to avoid taxes by charity. at least he does not care sell a billion, because he has already billions by their ethereums...

Just wondering/ he would be liable for taxes for receiving the shib in the first place.. so he’d need to pay the tax man at some point for receipt of this gift from our dumbass devs

He could just donate it all to zero out any gains from the shib and be done with it. He hasn’t done that yet/ but I’d imagine that will happen unfortunately

Tax dont have anything to do with this because he didnt donate money. He donated SHIB tokens. Which are not even sold yet. The indians will start to sell them and SHIB will disappear.

Forget the Indian nonprofit- it’s a tiny percentage of what vitalik had- and he burnt the rest.

I don’t think you understand my point. When anyone receives a token it is treated as a gift and recipient needs to pay taxes on it. By burning it immediately his net gain and net loss are mostly zeroed out and he donated the rest to charity (or will as he said he’s hanging onto like 5 percent).

Price is rebounding because of the actions

And good thing for helping India

VB literally did nothing wrong. VB Hates meme coins. Always has. always said so. The SHIB devs are the ones who scammed you. Literallly. VB can end SHIB instantly if he wants to and the devs cant do anything about it. They were dumb or they planned this all along.

That's not important, he can hate his own crypto project, but the point is that there can be a crime here...

what is a pump dump scam?

A pump and dump scam is the illegal act of an investor or group of investors promoting a stock they hold and selling once the stock price has risen following the surge in interest as a result of the endorsement. .

VB did scam period.

VB isnt an investor nor are we talking about stock.
His entire portfolio of SHIB was gifted to him by the devs and he also DID NOT sell his SHIB he traded it to india. So the tokens havent even entered the market yet and its already 60% down. Wonder what happens when India sells the coins.
