@shib_superstore, the Twitter account representing the online shop of Travis Johnson, developer of SHIB burn games for smartphones, has announced that there is a new website that burns Shiba Inu.

In the meantime, over the past 24 hours, a massive amount of SHIB tokens has been removed from circulation. This still seems like a drop in the ocean, though.

"This website DOES burn SHIB"

In his tweet, @shib_superstore mentioned the playzone.online website, which is listed on the Shib Superstore portal. Travis Johnson confirmed that this site also helps users burn Shiba Inu. However, the mechanism is made so as to make profits and burn SHIB depending on how many users have visited the website.

In contrast, using mobile games on Travis's site allows burning SHIB and lets game creators earn some income.

However, Travis seems to believe that playzone.online could attract non-SHIB holders and perhaps interest them in the second largest meme coin and in burning it.

With that being said....could be a good candidate to promote to non-SHIB holders?
