Supermarket worker quits job after becoming Shiba Inu millionaire
Rob, a 35-year-old supermarket worker from northern England, has managed to earn life-changing money with the help of the Shiba Inu cryptocurrency, Fortune reports.
Once he stumbled across the token woufpaper, the British man had his light bulb moment:
After reading that, I was hooked…I just believed the words.
He started investing his hard-earned cash in Shiba Inu in February, when rival Dogecoin was still under the radar of almost anyone who wasn’t a die-hard dog coin aficionado.
The dicey bet worked out tremendously well for Rob: after investing $8,000 in portions, his holdings appreciated 1,200 times by May, the month the meme coin garnered mainstream attention for the first time.

Rob says he was extremely emotional after cashing in half a million dollars and seeing the entire amount in his bank account:
I come from quite a poor background. I could never have even fantasized about having this much money.
Overwhelmed with happiness, the happy buyer quit his job as warehouse manager after doing so with Shiba Inu. Now, he’s busy being a stay-at-home dad.
In addition to caring for his son, Rob is also active in the thriving community.
He still holds a seven-figure sum worth of Shiba Inu as well as several other Dogecoin offshoots, such as Doge Killer (LEASH).
Shiba Inu takes a break
Building on the wild Dogecoin rally, Shiba Inu became the unlikely success story of 2021 and finally broke into the top 10 largest cryptocurrencies by market cap at the end of October.
The cryptocurrency, however, is now in the middle of a troubling correction, shedding 39% in less than a week.
This weakness comes amid Kraken’s reluctance to list Shiba Inu and recent transfers by the coin’s largest whale which controls around 13% of the total supply.
