"If SHIB gets to $0.01," David Gokhshtein might take this action

David Gokhshtein, founder of Gokhshtein Media and SHIB supporter, has once again urged the canine meme coin to hit the $0.01 level. If SHIB manages to do it, Gokhshtein wrote in his recent tweet, he can delete his Twitter account. Back in December 2022, as reported by U.Today, the founder of Gokhshtein Media tweeted that as soon as SHIB “hits a penny,” he “will be out,” implying that he would sell his assets to make profits. So, by talking about deleting his Twitter account, Gokhshtein might be hinting at the same intentions. At the moment of writing, SHIB is trading at $0.000012, per CoinMarketCap.
