How SHIB Can Reach $0.01
While increasing from its current price of $0.000022 as of this writing to $0.01 may be a fantasy for many, the owner of Bigger Entertainment, Steven Cooper, believes that the dream in fact become a reality.
Cooper assured the Shiba Army that Bigger Entertainment would focus on bringing people – whether they are familiar or unfamiliar with crypto in general – to help destroy SHIB tokens.
According to Cooper, besides burning SHIB, entertaining people is the way to boost the price of SHIB to $0.01. He tweeted:
Our goal isn't for #shib holders to always burn their coins. Our goal is to spread music, YouTube vids, merch, NFT's, etc to audiences outside of #shibarmy. This is how we reach a .01. By building an ecosystem where people are burning w/o even knowing it. Through entertainment.Why You Should Care— Steven Cooper (@iamstevencooper) January 30, 2022
Shiba Inu hopes to increase the price of its SHIB tokens by reducing the amount of SHIB in circulation and adding utility to its network.
