At 16:46 UTC, SHIB trades at USD 0.00006825 and is up by 44% in a day and 143 in a week. The price exploded by 80787246% in a year, per Coingecko data. At the same time, DOGE trades at USD 0.242175 and is down by 9% in a day and 2% in a week. It jumped by 8988% in a year.
SHIB price chart:

Discussing the action in the two meme coins on Twitter, the crypto community appeared to agree that it is just a matter of time before a flippening of DOGE by SHIB happens.
“How dogecoin became the boomer memecoin” Joe Weisenthal, co-host of the Bloomberg’s Odd Lots podcast, started off one of his tweets by saying, explaining that unlike DOGE, SHIB actually has “a fast moving development roadmap, its own decentralized exchange, NFTs, and advanced smart contracting capabilities.”
Also sharing his thoughts on the potential flippening was Arcane Crypto’s Eric Wall, who made the case for why “SHIB is better than DOGE” in a detailed Twitter thread, before finally admitting “This is a comedy thread people.”
If you buy SHIB, you buy:

– fixed-supply coin
– something Elon doesn’t have as much power over
– something you can stake and earn yields on in the Ethereum DeFi ecosystem and on its own purpose-built DEXes like ShibaSwap
– using it on in L2s will prolly get you tons of airdrops
Lastly, Erik Voorhees, CEO of the open-source crypto platform ShapeShift, joked “A world in which SHIB flips DOGE is not a world in which I wish to live.”
