A GIF battle broke out on Twitter between the Shiba Inu community and eToro, a popular cryptocurrency exchange. The outcome of this GIF battle? Absolutely nothing.
SHIB, LEASH, and BONE are the three key tokens in the Shiba Inu ecosystem. While many platforms have already adopted SHIB, the other two are frequently overlooked. As a result, the Shib Army has been lobbying for these assets to be included in platforms all around the world. The Shib Army was asking eToro to accept Shiba Inu offspring in a similar way.
A small misconception
The power of a mere tweet can be witnessed during the latest situation. MILKSHAKE, a prominent member of the Shib Army shared a tweet asking eToro to check its DM. To which the platform replied “We saw! 👀 & we answered 📲.”
This resulted in a tremendous outpouring of tweets. While Shiba Inu was already on eToro, the aforementioned interaction raised the prospect of LEASH and BONE joining the platform.
eToro was undoubtedly swarmed with tweets from the Shiba Inu community. Several tweets and one misleading article later, the platform decided to put a stop to all rumors. Therefore, eToro tweeted,
How much shilling is too much?
MILKSHAKE then rushed to Twitter to advise the Army to keep calm, claiming that nothing was occurring. They were like “excited puppies,” eToro said, using a play on words. MILKSHAKE didn’t waste any time and threw LEASH into the mix.
Despite multiple efforts by the Shiba Inu Army, eToro affirmed that nothing was planned.
MILKSHAKE emphasized this even further by mentioning eToro’s strong support for Shiba Inu. The repeated mention of the platform, on the other hand, made the platform’s moderation crew desire for a conclusion.
eToro wasn’t hinting at anything. Multiple tweets and attempts later, the crypto platform concluded by saying,
“Sorry to disappoint. Nothing happening. Nothing planned. This is just a social media manager being nice to a community misled by an article based on nothing.”
Should Shiba Inu Army take a chill pill?
This isn’t the first time the Shib Army has banded together to force a platform to include its assets. The Shiba Inu community has been seen repeatedly lobbying platforms in a variety of businesses to adopt SHIB. The community wants SHIB, LEASH, and BONE to be a part of every platform, from McDonald’s to Tesla.
Its no doubt that SHIB has reached places despite being relatively new. However, constant shilling of the asset could go either way. While some may perceive it as a marketing ploy, a few others like eToro may outrightly mock the network.
