For example, Pac Protocol co-founder David Gokhstein said that they will go with Shiba because it is in trend and also later David revealed that he made much profit from Shiba inu coin.
Due to huge popularity, many crypto traders added this coin to the watchlist on the crypto Assets price tracking app & website Coinmarketcap.
