<p><a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/shiba-inu-price-prediction/">Shiba Inu (SHIB)</a>, the beloved meme coin, has yet again surpassed all expectations, leaving the crypto community in awe. This time, it’s none other than Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin who’s been surprised. Buterin, initially skeptical of SHIB’s potential, has now revealed something unexpected: SHIB has far outstripped his initial projections for the project. </p> 
<p>What exactly did Buterin say, and why? Read on to find out!</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-buterin-speaks-out">Buterin Speaks Out</h2> 
<p>In a surprising exchange sparked by Nathan Young, a prominent figure in web design and director at Frostwork, <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/vitalik-buterin-unveils-ethereums-next-chapter-insights-from-ethtaipei-2024/">Vitalik Buterin</a>, the co-founder of <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/market-price-prediction-ethereum-2019/">Ethereum</a>, made a startling confession.</p>

   <p lang="en" dir="ltr">It's the same situation as with cryptorelief: I quickly sent a pile of SHIB, thinking it would surely drop 100x in a few days so I had to act fast, and expecting they would be able to cash out at most like $10-25m. But of course SHIB massively outperformed my expectations…</p>— vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) <a href="https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1772761661264523563?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 26, 2024</a>

<p>Young’s tweet shed light on the substantial crypto holdings of the Future of Life Institute (FLI), a non-profit organization dedicated to AI research. This conversation underscored the unforeseen triumph of Shiba Inu (SHIB), largely credited to Buterin’s involvement.</p> 
<p>Initially brushed off as inconsequential, it was revealed that SHIB in FLI’s portfolio amounted to a staggering $665 million, leaving many, including Buterin, dumbfounded. This revelation drew parallels to a previous instance involving CryptoryRelief, an Indian charity, which received a whopping 50.6 billion SHIB tokens from Buterin.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-market-momentum">Market Momentum</h2> 
<p>Although SHIB initially experienced a dip in value following Buterin’s contribution, it swiftly rebounded. Had CryptoRelief held onto the tokens, they would have reaped substantial profits, underscoring SHIB’s enduring strength.</p>
