Shiba Inu Analyst Reveals 3 Crucial Steps for SHIB to Regain Its 2021 Glory

Jakarta, Pintu News – In a nine-minute video shared on the X platform, Humphries explains the key changes he believes the team must make for SHIB to break out of its prolonged period of stagnation and return to the 2021 price levels that became its legendary upward milestone.

For context, Shiba Inu once reached its highest price of $0.00008845 in October 2021. But currently, the price of SHIB has fallen about 90.48% from that level. With the current price at $0.000008419, SHIB has decreased by 17.3% in the last 30 days, decreased by 34.6% in the last three months, and decreased by 60.2% since the beginning of the year.

Humphries emphasized that he has been following the development of SHIB since the beginning of 2021 and remained active throughout its heyday and decline.

He acknowledged the growing frustration among the community, especially as the SHIB ecosystem continues to evolve yet often feels detached from its main token, as well as the continued weakening momentum of the SHIB price.

How Shiba Inu Can Return to the Glory of 2021

Even so, Humphries emphasized that SHIB is not really “dead”. He highlights that SHIB is still among the top 25 crypto assets and has one of the strongest brands in the industry.

Therefore, according to him, the token still has a chance to bounce back-provided the developers address three key issues soon.

Full Focus Back to SHIB as Key Asset

Humphries’ strongest argument centers on the need forrealignment. He believes that the Shiba Inu ecosystem has expanded in too many directions, which in turn has taken the focus away from SHIB itself.

Since its launch in August 2020, the development team has introduced various additional projects and tokens, such as Shibarium, Shib: The Metaverse, ShibaSwap, BONE, LEASH, TREAT, and NFTs. According to Humphries, the existence of these additional projects is taking away attention and value that should be focused on the main token, SHIB.

He argues that this over-expansion has caused more confusion than confidence among the community. Humphries emphasized that SHIB’s meteoric rise in 2021 was not due to the complexity of its functions, but rather to its large and solid community, strong identity, and tremendous viral momentum.

Currently, she feels that the SHIB ecosystem seems fragmented, has lost focus, and is no longer closely connected with SHIB at its center.

As a solution, Humphries recommends a complete realignment of the ecosystem. Any major developments going forward, he says, should directly benefit SHIB-not a companion token or other separate project.

Catching the Next Wave of Retail Momentum

Humphries’ second requirement relates to market psychology. He emphasized that meme coins like Shiba Inu will only thrive when participation from retail investors is high.

The meme coin price rally was not driven by institutional investors, but by day traders who entered the market due to emotional impulse, virality on social media, and the appeal of cheap tokens with huge profit potential.

Humphries notes that when retail investors return to crypto, they rarely start with Bitcoin. Instead, they are more interested in assets that have high energy and strong narratives like SHIB.

According to him, SHIB can still position itself as one of the strongest meme tokens. If the project is properly directed, SHIB could potentially become a magnet for retail investors again, triggering a new price discovery phase as new buyers enter the ecosystem.

The Need for a Simple, Transparent, and Executable Roadmap

Humphries also highlighted that the project’s roadmap is too complex. He pointed out that the development of Shibarium, DEX, NFTs, various additional tokens, and the metaverse project have expanded the vision of the project to the point of losing clarity.

According to him, crypto investors don’t need ten ambitious initiatives-they just need one clear and well-executed mission. Hence, Humphries urged the team to create a roadmap that is simple, transparent, achievable, and most importantly directly related to increasing the value of SHIB.

Specifically, he suggested that the team come up with income distribution schemes, incentives or mechanisms that actually give SHIBs a real economic role in the ecosystem.

The goal is not to build as many features as possible, but to build the right features-those that suit the interests of SHIB holders and are easily understood by new users.

SHIB’s potential is still there, if the project is put back on track

Humphries concluded that if the team followed these recommendations, SHIB could still recover. He emphasized that SHIB has the brand strength, community size, and cultural recognition needed to bounce back.

However, he also emphasized that the success of SHIB ultimately depends on the willingness of its leaders to refocus the direction of the project, simplify the strategy, and reconnect the ecosystem with its original identity.
