Shiba Inu leader criticizes BONE burning idea
Shytoshi Kusama also responded to a Shibarium user’s post on X. This user suggested that the SHIB community not only burn Shiba Inu coins, but also start removing BONE from the circulating supply. The proposal comes as transaction fees on Shibarium reached 1,351,496 BONE worth $1,212,940 in fiat. The user offered to convert this huge pile of BONE to only partially burn SHIB.

Thus, he sought clarity for the entire SHIB community. Kusama posted a “melting face” emoji in response.
