I thought I read somewhere that they were burning coins now? Somebody clear this up.
As far as it never reaching a penny I would never say never. Right now it’s very unlikely but I don’t think these exchanges wouldn’t be rushing to list this coin if they didn’t know something was coming...some future developments that will send this thing mooning. It feels very inside traderish how it’s getting listed and I can’t believe it’s just all from hype.
A CEX can't burn coins like a DEX can. If you or anyone else unfamiliar, CEX is a Centralized Exchange like Coinbase, Robinhood, Webull, etc. Decentralized Exchange is something like uniswap, shibaswap, etc. Of course DEX deal with gas fees which is paid in ETH so that has an effect. Coinbase and Robinhood can't burn coins. If most of the volume is done on those platforms, then there's less chance for a big burn. Actually speaking of burn I might've cracked open an interesting conspiracy.
So I go on etherscan.io. A site that shows the number of holders and how much each wallet has. Didn't see a Coinbase wallet in top 500 so either its not listed or they aren't in the top 500. Meaning that who knows how quickly the supply on there may run out if they aren't carrying too much. But thats not the interesting part.
This wallet has 410 billion coins and says dead on it meaning dead wallet. With 41% of the supply. Yet it has actual numbers at the end.

Meanwhile this wallet has 34 million tokens and says dead on it too.

Now compare that to another coin that does burn tokens on every transaction, Saitama Inu.
This wallet has about 55% burnt and also has the word dead with all those zeroes.
$0.00 | Saitama Inu (SAITAMA) Token Tracker | Etherscan
So if the dead wallet on shiba that looks like the one for saitama has 34 million tokens burnt and the other wallet with numbers has 410 billion burnt, then why is the bigger wallet different?
Same thing with the feg wallet.

Where did that wallet with the numbers come from and why isn't the main dead wallet the same as the other dead wallets in other coins? Is it a legit dead wallet or are the Shib team hiding something? Did Vitalik really burn his coins?
