The Shiba Inu community has raised concerns about the recent absence of Shytoshi Kusama, the project’s lead developer, from social media. This comes at a time when the token is struggling to maintain key price levels amid broader market volatility.

Kusama’s Declining Activity on Social Media

Shytoshi Kusama has been noticeably inactive on social media over the past week, a shift from his usual engagement earlier this year. His last direct post on X was on February 21, when he announced enhancements to liquidity pools on ShibaSwap. Since then, his presence has been limited to occasional retweets, with the most recent one from March 7, highlighting a post by Shiba Inu’s partner, Astra Nova.

Lucie Addresses the Current Situation

In response to these concerns, Lucie clarified that Kusama’s reduced social media activity is aligned with his stated plans. She emphasized that his absence correlates with focusing on expanding Shiba Inu’s global reach. Lucie suggested that while Kusama may not be as visible online, he is likely engaged in offline efforts such as strategic meetings and partnerships aimed at elevating the project's profile.

Kusama's absence is explained by his focus on a long-term strategy.

Not an Uncommon Occurrence

Kusama’s limited online presence is not unprecedented. In the past, he has taken similar breaks from social media to focus on other commitments. For instance, in May 2024, he revealed that he had traveled to the Middle East to visit family. Despite these breaks, Kusama has built a reputation as a dedicated figure within the ecosystem.

Kusama has previously taken breaks from social media to focus on other tasks.

Lucie's reassurance highlights that Kusama’s current focus is on the long-term growth of Shiba Inu, with expectations for updates once his offline efforts materialize.
