Shiba Inu meme cryptocurrency poised to eat Dogecoin's lunch
There's another dog-themed cryptocurrency on the block, and Dogecoin better take note.
Say hello to Shiba Inu (SHIB), a meme coin gunning for Dogecoin — which itself is a meme coin created to mock cryptocurrency — that's skyrocketed in value since Coinbase listed it on the exchange in September. As of Wednesday afternoon, according to CoinMarketCap, SHIB's $32 billion market cap was officially larger than Dogecoin's $31 billion.
Yes, a seemingly joke coin ripping off another joke coin is now worth billions of real dollars.

"We started from zero, with zero," boasts the latest version of the project's "WoofPaper" (aka white paper). "Shib has clearly become one of the most successful, fully-decentralized cryptocurrency experiments in history."
Just how successful is the Shiba Inu coin experiment? Well, its price has jumped 60,000,000 percent this year, reports CNN. And no, that's not a typo.

Whether or not that means anything beyond a possible bubble is unclear.

But bubble or no, Wednesday's flippening makes clear that Dogecoin alone can't satisfy the appetite for meme coins. Woof.
