Shiba Inu overtook Ethereum by its Twitter followers
The official Shib Twitter account has now surpassed 1.8 million followers.
For comparison, the official Ethereum network account has 1.7 million followers.
Shiba Inu is an Ethereum-based ERC-20 token that was launched last August by an anonymous founder who goes by the name of Ryoshi.
After posting insane gains in the second quarter, the token meme saw a resurgence in popularity last month due to an 800% price jump.
As reported by U.Today, SHIB managed to generate more than a million tweets on the day it surpassed Dogecoin by market cap.
SHIB’s Reddit community has 414,000 members, making it almost four times the size of the subreddit dedicated to the Japanese dog breed of the same name.
Shib is still far from being the most popular coin on Twitter. The official account of canine rival Dogecoin is followed by 2.4 million users.
The official Bitcoin handle has 3.6 million subscribers. The account is rumored to be controlled by Bitcoin Cash promoter Roger Ver, which the entrepreneur has denied. In August 2019, @Bitcoin suddenly deleted all tweets related to the controversial Bitcoin fork and adopted a dramatically different narrative, prompting speculation about its new owner.
