Someone sent $0 worth of a dog coin to a man who didn't ask for it. He turned it into the largest crypto donation in history. > In August 2020 an anonymous person calling himself Ryoshi launched Shiba Inu with one quadrillion tokens > It had no investors, no VCs or a press release. > His plan, written in something he called a "woofpaper", was to send 50% of the entire supply directly to Vitalik Buterin. > He just sent him 500 trillion SHIB tokens to his wallet without warning. > His reason was: "There is no greatness without a vulnerable point. As long as VB doesn't rug us, Shiba will grow and thrive." > He intentionally made the co-founder of Ethereum the single largest holder of his memecoin as a marketing strategy without ever telling him. > Vitalik woke up one day with 50% of a dog coin sitting in his wallet and had no idea what to do with it. > By May 2021 those tokens were worth over $1 billion. > He donated 50 trillion SHIB to India's COVID-19 relief fund > Worth $1.2 billion at the time it was the largest crypto donation in history. > Then burned 410 trillion of the remaining tokens, destroying $6.7 billion in a single transaction > Saying he didn't want to be a "locus of power" in a dog coin project. > SHIB pumped on the news of the burn. > In May 2022 Ryoshi deleted every account, every blog post, every trace of himself and disappeared. > His last words: "I am not important, and one day I will be gone without notice. Take the SHIBA and journey upwards frens." > Nobody knows who he is. He never sold a single token. The coin he built reached a $40 billion market cap. None of it was supposed to work and all of it did.
