Ryoshi’s vision of a truly decentralized Shiba Inu project is further reiterated by Shibarmy community member Shytoshi Kusama in a recent blog post whereby he praises Ryoshi as the most successful anonymous founder of any project. His exact statement on Ryoshi can be found below.
Ryoshi was, and is, one of the most successful anonymous founders of any project, ever.
