The pseudonymous marketing expert of the Shiba Inu team, known to the crypto community as Lucie, has addressed the SHIB army regarding the current market decline.
Lucie shared an important piece of advice as to how best to behave and the best thing to focus on while the market is crashing.
Lucie pointed out that, currently, many crypto projects are making announcements. However, the bad market sentiment is likely to drag them all down, Lucie believes. The best thing to focus on at the moment, according to her, is “building strong connections,” rather than anything else.
SHIB price plummets 18%
Over the past 24 hours, the second most popular meme coin in terms of market capitalization, Shiba Inu, has displayed an impressive bearish price reversal. After surging by more than 11% on Sunday, when U.S. President Donald Trump announced the upcoming creation of the U.S. strategic crypto reserve, which would consist not only of Bitcoin alone, SHIB has crashed by roughly 18% since Monday.

SHIB followed the world’s pioneer cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, as it collapsed by 10.8% since Monday from $93,633, losing roughly $10,000 in that sharp decline. Today, March 4, Trump’s trade tariffs against the country’s main partners – Mexico and Canada – are taking effect. The markets, including Bitcoin, have been reacting bearishly to that for more than a week already.
