In a surprising turn of events, the Shiba Inu team has declared a delay for the much-anticipated ShibaCon conference. Initially set for November 9, the Shiba Inu team has opted to postpone the ShibaCon conference until further notice, causing many community members to speculate about the reasons behind this abrupt change.
ShibaCon Conference Postponed
On October 14, the Shiba Inu team issued a statement through their official SHIB social media account on X (formerly Twitter). The team announced that the ShibaCon conference, planned for Bangkok, Thailand, just four days after the US Presidential elections on November 5, has been postponed indefinitely.
This announcement, made merely three weeks before the event, has left the Shiba Inu community pondering the possible reasons for this sudden shift. While the Shiba Inu team did not provide exhaustive details on the ShibaCon rescheduling, they clarified that the decision was made to ensure the event would offer a more rewarding and thrilling experience for attendees.
Though the delay may have disappointed those eager to participate, the Shiba Inu team is hopeful that this postponement will lead to a ShibaCon that exceeds expectations, uniting Web3 trailblazers, developers, and the ShibArmy.
To address the disruption caused by the delay for those who already purchased tickets, the Shiba Inu team has announced that affected individuals will be contacted via email to receive a full refund. Additionally, the team expressed appreciation to community members who supported the event by buying tickets, stating that they will receive a free VIP ticket as compensation. These VIP tickets will be provided once the new venue and date for ShibaCon are established.
Shiba Inu Team Faces Backlash Over ShibaCon Delay
After announcing the postponement of the forthcoming ShibaCon event, various SHIB community members voiced differing sentiments regarding the unexpected change. Some members expressed enthusiasm about receiving the free VIP tickets, feeling fortunate about this exclusive offer. Others thanked the Shiba Inu team for promptly informing the community and backing the announcement with a lighthearted meme.
Conversely, a considerable number of community members critiqued the team for the abrupt shift, labeling the announcement as a joke and suggesting that the event’s delay might stem from insufficient ticket sales.
Despite the heated discussions and the unforeseen ShibaCon delay, the price of Shiba Inu has shown stable performance. The cryptocurrency’s value climbed by 6.6% in the past week, with the current price reaching $0.000018, as reported by CoinMarketCap. Data from Coinglass has also indicated a surge in Shiba Inu’s trading volume, which skyrocketed by 23.78% in the last 24 hours, totaling $226.12 million.
