A prominent community div has renewed confidence in Shiba Inu’s long-term potential, calling the token a “generational opportunity.” His remarks follow growing debate about SHIB’s future as market conditions remain uncertain. Supporters continue to frame the asset as a long-range bet despite its steep price decline in 2025. The renewed enthusiasm has once again stirred conversation about SHIB’s path toward the highly discussed one-cent milestone.

Long-Term Bullish View

Luis Delgado, who identifies as a world-renowned crypto expert, made the declaration after responding to a recent tweet from trading platform Crypto.com. The company shared a Shiba Inu mascot with the caption “Generational Woof,” which Delgado interpreted as echoing the community’s belief in SHIB’s long-term potential.

He stated that holding SHIB represents a “generational opportunity,” suggesting that the token could deliver significant returns over future market cycles. Delgado has maintained that Shiba Inu’s expanding ecosystem, development roadmap, and community strength could support major value appreciation over time.

He has also repeated his conviction that SHIB can eventually reach $0.01. Critics have argued the target is unrealistic, yet Delgado said he has seen “impossible” outcomes in crypto before and does not view the one-cent goal as any different. His comments continue to resonate with investors who support the idea of long-term gains driven by community momentum

Path to $0.01 Highlights Scale of Challenge

Despite the optimism, SHIB faces a steep climb. At the time of writing, the token trades at $0.000008893 and would need to surge by 117,768% to reach the one-cent level.

Analysts note that such growth would push Shiba Inu’s market capitalization to about $5.89 trillion, a div critics describe as unattainable for a meme-based asset. Even so, projections linked to a hypothetical rally illustrate the excitement among holders. 

At SHIB’s current price, 100 million tokens are worth about $848. If the token ever reached $0.01, that amount would rise to $1 million. Likewise, 200 million tokens would grow to $2 million, and 500 million would reach $5 million. Supporters often describe these outcomes as “generational wealth.”

However, SHIB’s current trend shows the difficulty of achieving such milestones. The token entered 2025 at $0.00002115 after gaining momentum in December 2024, when it briefly touched $0.00003329. Since January 1, SHIB has dropped 59.88% to its present level. The decline has raised questions about whether long-term forecasts can withstand market headwinds and shifting investor sentiment.

Delgado’s remarks have nonetheless reinforced the resolve among committed holders. His position aligns with a segment of the community that continues to advocate for patient participation in the project’s evolution.
