Gokhshtein bets on meme coins
In his earlier manifold tweets, Gokhshtein said that he holds bags of Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB). This week, he also mentioned a DOGE shoot-off Floki Inu (FLOKI), which at one point demonstrated a staggering rise of over 90%.
On Jan. 15, the man tweeted that he was loading up on SHIB, when the meme coin was trading in the $0.00001039 zone.
Gokhshtein believes that the main role of meme coins is that they can attract a large number of new retail buyers to the crypto market and drive them toward the flagship crypto Bitcoin in particular.
Dogecoin has demonstrated a rise of slightly under 2% in the past 24 hours and weekly growth of 7.75%. Shiba Inu has gone up a mild 1.29% since Friday, rising 5.19% over the past seven days.
This week, DOGE experienced a jump of over 9%, thanks to Elon Musk as it has often happened in the past. Musk tweeted that he had found a new "Twitter CEO," posting a photoshopped picture of his Shiba Inu puppy named Floki. This also pushed the FLOKI price way up.
Here's what Gokhshtein may do once SHIB hits $0.01
However, after the aforementioned rise, DOGE plunged more than 6% on Thursday, printing a series of red hourly candles on the chart. At the time of this writing, the original meme token is changing hands at the $0.0876 level.
According to one of his tweets posted in December, Gokhshtein will get out of Shiba Inu as soon as it reaches the $0.01 level.
