What is the Shiba Inu Coin? The Shiba Inu coin was created as a parody of the meme token Dogecoin. Dogecoin had received some tacit support from the world’s third-richest man at the time, Elon Musk in 2020. At that time, Elon Musk had made a cryptic tweet, using the logo of Dogecoin and saying: “who let the Doge out?” A few weeks and more tweets later, Dogecoin made an astounding 10,000% return and made several people very rich. The Shiba Inu is a dog that is native to Japan. It is the dog that is featured on Dogecoin's logo. When Dogecoin's performance became too big to ignore, an anonymous individual named Ryoshi (aka the Dogecoin killer) created the Shiba Inu coin as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. The reference to the Shiba Inu coin as a Dogecoin killer stoked market interest almost immediately, leading to a surge in the price of this token when it was listed on several exchanges.

Rather, you will buy or sell a contract on the Shiba Inu token, and trade it with leverage.

It is not something you want to hold for months or years. Not with the kind of moves seen in the cryptocurrency market. So buying Shiba Inu coin on margin is for traders.

So buying Shiba Inu coins to hold is the way to go for HODLers. Pros and Cons of Using a Hard Wallet Wallets are used to store cryptocurrency tokens purchased on an exchange, on P2P platforms or from face-to-face exchange. There are different kinds of wallets. They can be broadly classified as hard wallets and soft wallets. Most people that have been involved in the cryptocurrency market use all types of soft wallets (online wallets, smartphone wallets, etc). Hard wallets are physical devices where you can store your private keys and other information related to your crypto holdings. The trading strategy and risk appetite usually determine the type of wallets used by crypto enthusiasts. Hard wallets are considered safer than soft wallets because they are not exposed to online hacks and scams. However, just like almost anything else, there are pros and cons to using hard wallets. Pros Hard wallets are not exposed to online hackers or scams because they are offline wallets that exist in physical form.There is an option to provide a backup of the stored information, in case the device is lost or stolen. If the device is set up with multiple layers of authentication, the information contained within the wallet cannot be accessed by a third party. Cons Being a physical object, a hard wallet can be damaged, lost or stolen, leading to the loss of the private keys of the cryptos contained in them.Unlike online wallets or soft wallets which cost next to nothing to acquire, hard wallets are expensive. They are also not widely available on a global scale. They have to be connected to a device such as a laptop to be used. They cannot be used on a standalone basis.
