Ryoshi, the pseudonymous founder of the Shiba Inu cryptocurrency, deleted all his tweets as well as personal blog posts earlier today.
“I am not important, and one day I will be gone without notice. Take the SHIBA and journey upwards frens,” the creator of the “Dogecoin killer” wrote.
The Shiba Inu founder has seemingly chosen to mimic the path of mysterious Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
Satoshi left the cryptocurrency community in December 2010. The identity of the person who started it all is yet to be revealed.
It's unclear whether Ryoshi plans to return to the Shiba Inu community with new ideas.
