1 million Shiba Inu users can't be wrong... can they?

With over one million token holders, Shiba Inu looks set for great things ahead, despite trading more than 50% below its all time high.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has reached an adoption milestone by surpassing the 1 million holders mark — even though the memecoin is trading 50% below its all-time high. 

News of the milestone and daily price increase has energized the Shiba Inu community since the official Shiba Inu Twitter account tweeted a shoutout late on Nov. 25.

Since the project reached this milestone, the price has jumped up 11.4% over the past 24 hours, with SHIB now trading at $0.00004237 according to Coingecko. There are 1,002,021 SHIB holders according to data from Etherscan.

Despite the recent price increase, SHIB is still trading well below its Oct. 28 peak of $0.00008190, possibly due to SHIB whales taking profits.

There’s plenty going on in the Shib Inu world. Bitfinex Derivatives listed SHIB with Tether (USDT)-paired perpetual contracts for trading on Nov. 23.

And South Korean exchange Korbit has been accepting deposits and SHIB was scheduled to start trading at 3AM UTC. This makes Korbit the first Korean exchange to list Shiba Inu.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is currently the only other memecoin available to trade on the four big exchanges that still operate legally in South Korea: Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, and Korbit.

Korbit has the opportunity to list new tokens paired with the Korean Won (KRW) as it was one of the few exchanges in Korea to come into full compliance by Sept. 24 with new rules designed to combat money laundering.

DOGE is South Korea’s fifth-most traded crypto by trade volume. DOGE has been very popular in Korea since 2017 when the country was gripped by ICO fever and cryptocurrencies traded at a premium compared to global prices — known as the “Kim Chi Premium.” It remains to be seen whether the addition of more memecoins such as Shiba Inu could lead to another speculative frenzy.

SHIB is one of the most popular memecoins on the market today, behind only DOGE. Both are among the top 15 cryptocurrencies by market cap. Inspired by DOGE, SHIB itself has many copycat coins across several chains. In total, there are over 19 cryptos with ‘Shiba’ in their names.

The Congolese Mountain of Gold: Surprise Discovery in Africa Shows Metal’s Scarcity Is Hard to Prove

A myriad of gold bugs like to compliment the yellow precious metal for its ostensible scarcity, as estimates say only 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold is produced annually. While new gold discoveries have seemingly slowed, investigative studies also show that in some areas, gold is being smuggled into the economy by the ton, and often never accounted for as far as per annum issuance estimates. Recently, reports show a whole mountain of gold was discovered in the Congo, as the Democratic Republic of the Congo is well known for being a region that sees tons of smuggled gold filtered into the global financial system unreported. Surprise Gold Deposits Continue to Crack the Precious Metal’s Scarcity Proposition It has always been said that the precious metal gold (Au) is scarce, and some reports even say that gold mining on earth will end by the year 2050 . Additionally, estimates also show that there’s roughly 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold that is accounted for and enters into the fin...
