In a recent post on X, Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer for Shiba Inu (SHIB), quoted the Bible passage Matthew 7:15-20 attempting to address concerns and negativity surrounding the project. Kusama’s post specifically targeted those spreading fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) within the SHIB Army.
The quoted passage from the Gospel of Matthew warns against false prophets who appear harmless but harbor malicious intent. Kusama seems to be drawing a parallel between these false prophets and those spreading negativity about the Shiba Inu project.

By referencing this scripture, Kusama suggests that those criticizing SHIB lack genuine concern for the project’s well-being or the Shiba Inu community’s interests.
And for those of you who have looked me in the eye and still doubt me, qnd us, just watch. We are STILL just getting started, but you're too busy to see this… uhm… is it a tweet or like do we call them exes? I digress.

Time to Focus on SHIB’s Strengths
Kusama’s post offers a specific timeframe for this negativity, mentioning those spreading FUD in the last three days. This suggests he might be responding to a recent surge in criticism or negative sentiment surrounding the project despite SHIB’s impressive performance and bullish metrics.
The latter portion of the quoted passage emphasizes judging actions by their results. Kusama appears to be urging the SHIB community to focus on the project’s achievements and roadmap rather than negativity from external sources. By following this logic, Kusama implies that the project’s merits will speak for themselves and ultimately drown out the noise from FUDders.
In a follow-up post, Kusama told those doubting his work and SHIB’s progress and future should watch the project. The developer wrote, “We are STILL just getting started, but you’re too busy to see this.” Kusama hints that SHIB is on the brink of a monumental move that could silence all doubters.
FUD Spreaders in the Crypto Market
Kusama’s approach is not uncommon in the cryptocurrency space. Project leads often face criticism and skepticism, and some choose to address it directly. Malicious individuals spreading FUD is a major problem in the crypto market. There were rising discussions of XRP being “dead” in February, further highlighting the power of fear-mongers in the crypto community.

It remains to be seen how effective Kusama’s message will be in curbing negativity around SHIB. Although some community members may find his words reassuring, others may view them as dismissive of legitimate concerns.
However, SHIB’s future success depends on more than sentiment. It requires continued development of the project’s ecosystem, increased ability to attract new users and investment, and the overall performance of the cryptocurrency market.
With new significant projects popping up in the Shiba Inu ecosystem, the meme coin is getting closer to shutting down doubters and proving it deserves the love and support the community shows.
