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.”
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.”
