The popular meme coin, Shiba Inu, has taken a different position in the market due to the mystery of the anonymity of the developer behind it. Is this mystery now debunked? YouTuber Ben Armstrong, nicknamed BitBoy, said he would eventually ‘reveal’ the real name of Shiba Inu co-founder and lead developer Shytoshi Kusama, and he did.
BitBoy: I will reveal the Shiba Inu inventor!
As we reported as Kriptokoin.com, crypto YouTuber Ben Armstrong stated that he will make the disclosure on his YouTube channel. In this context, Armstrong shared the following on Twitter:
I just don’t understand why I have a fake animosity with a Shiba guy I’ve never heard of who bought a fake ID. As if I didn’t have enough trouble. I will reveal the founder of Shiba on my channel tonight at 10 pm.
I don’t understand why there is some artificial beef between me and some Shiba guy I’ve never heard of who buys fake engagement. Like I got enough real beefs.

Controversy between BitBoy and Kusama
Following rumors circulating on Twitter that the recently launched Puppynet (beta of Shibarium) is a clone of Rinia Blockchain, BitBoy on Thursday for the first time threatened to reveal Shytoshi Kusama’s real name. Apparently, SHIB developers forgot to change the Blockchain ID number. Kusama later denied these plagiarism accusations as FUD. However, this development seems to have pushed BitBoy to threaten to expose it.
It seems that Armstrong was offended when Kusama said that BitBoy now had a “true foe” to deal with. Kusama also accused BitBoy of ‘saying essentially nothing about the Shib’ and ignoring it. Armstrong now stated that Kusama deserved it and promised to reveal it on his YouTube channel tonight. Armstrong previously said there was enough evidence to believe that Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO and founder of the crashed FTX exchange, was working on the Shiba Inu at an early stage of the project.
Top Shiba Inu enthusiast responds to BitBoy
Major Shiba Inu enthusiast Lucie Sasinkova responded to Armstrong’s tweet to defend the lead SHIB developer. He said that BitBoy ‘doesn’t even know the basics’ about Shytoshi Kusama and that he believes BitBoy’s main goal is to get as many views and engagements as possible on their YouTube videos.
Sasinkova said, “These videos carry ‘zero credibility, zero research’. I believe BitBoy is trying to ‘milk the Shiba’ as this meme cryptocurrency is trending right now. “Those who look like BitBoy and spread FUD about SHIB just want to ‘sell their bags,'” he said.
SHIB founder’s name revealed
According to BitBoy, the real name of the founder of Shiba Inu is Neyma Jahan. This person’s Twitter account is @neyma. Neyma gave some information about himself in response to BitBoy’s video.
I am one of the founders of @UnificationUND (fund/$xfund). I have not been active in a leadership role for sometime, but still do my part to support the team and platform

This person is one of the founders of Unification, the fund that works on the Shiba Inu and Shibarium. He denied rumors that he was working with SBF on any business projects. However, he admitted that they were together twice in the same room and said that he said hello to her. Apparently, this is Shytoshi Kusama’s real name… or Ryoshi.
I am a technology founder who loves the concepts of blockchain but stepped back from the public because I did not enjoy the heated lifestyle that came with this. I wish you all the best and any further questions you can ask me in the Unification telegram channel
