I think there's a lot of hype with Shiba Inu and this is a good thing for speculators.
But you also have to look at the predictable pump and crash pattern of typical crypto coins.
So, don't get scared off by the crash.
You should get scared if the coin continues to crash because you have to understand the reason why there's this typical upward, zig-ag pattern.
It is a fact that people who got in early cash-out, and this crashes the price.
But if they don't cash out deep enough, eventually it will recover because there will be a lot of sustainable hype around the coin.
Where people screw up is when a coin has some sort of sales prevention measure so people can't crash the coin.
This is exactly what happened with the Squid Game crypto coin, but when you see that zigzag, upward trend, that's normal.
And I see Shiba Inu going through that process for quite some time because there's a lot of hype behind this coin.
What is my long-term prediction?
It's not as rosy because until and unless Shiba Inu actually has a use case value, meaning it's actually treated as currency or some sort of mode of exchange in any kind of activity on the Internet that has a wide enough market, it will remain a speculative tool.
And just like any speculative tool, eventually, people get tired.
You only need to look at the Dutch Tulip Mania of the 17th Century to get a good idea of what I'm talking about.
