The Shiba Inu Millionaires: How a $100 Bet in 2020 Could’ve Made You a Crypto King
Dogecoin's rebellious kid brother turned $10 into generational wealth—if you timed it right.
The 2020 gamble that defied Wall Street logic
While hedge funds obsessed over PE ratios, Shiba Inu's meme magic delivered 8-figure returns faster than a VC-backed unicorn. The token that began as an Ethereum side hustle briefly flipped entire industries.
Anatomy of a meme coin moonshot
No white paper. No institutional backing. Just 61 zeroes getting erased from its price in 12 months—proving crypto's first law: the dumber the premise, the bigger the payoff.
Post-crash reality check
Today's chart tells a different story—a 90% plunge from ATH that vaporized Lambo dreams. The ultimate reminder that in crypto, you're either early...or you're left holding the (dog-themed) bag.
Life After Buying Shiba Inu in 2020
If you had invested $10,000 in SHIB on Aug. 2, 2020, and sold your holdings when the asset hit an all-time high of $0.00008616 in Oct. 2021, you WOULD have made more than $1.03 billion in profits. According to Changelly’s ROI calculator, your investment would have grown by 10,303,317.81% (10.30 million percent)
With more than $1 billion from SHIB profits in your pocket, you could have lived your dream life. Daily workers could let go of the 9-to-5 grind and focus on the things that actually matter in life. People could start their own business on a large scale. You could have put the money into other assets and forgotten about working altogether. Life could have revolved around having a lavish lifestyle with your loved ones, while also leaving behind generational wealth.
If you had continued to hold your shiba inu (SHIB) till today, the investment would still have given massive returns. According to Changelly’s ROI calculator, $10,000 worth of SHIB in August 2020 would have grown to about $120 million today. In this scenario, your money would have grown by 1,199,901% (1.19 million percent). This scenario would have also allowed you to retire from your day job. However, it is nowhere close to having $1 billion.
