She came to ARK as 'quite a chubby girl,' but has since dieted down to a perfect curvy 8 kilograms. Soft toys are one of Charisma's go-to pleasures, and she can still play like a pup.

While she has a taste for life's simple pleasures, Charisma won't hesitate to let you know when something rubs her the wrong way. | Kana Matsutani Though she is a connoisseur of life's simple pleasures, Charisma is also ready to let you know when something rubs her the wrong way.

Is Shiba Inu About to Take Off?
Shiba Inu has been soaring in value over the past month. As other cryptocurrencies rise to record levels, Shiba Inu's low value could make it a more attractive option for investors. 10 stocks we like better than Shiba Inu › The excitement in the crypto markets has been picking up steam in recent weeks. Investors have become more optimistic about the economy as a whole, which has fueled Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies along the way. Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) has risen by around 20% in just the past month alone. However, with the meme coin struggling for much of the year, could this be just the start of a much bigger rally -- one that may be overdue? Under President Trump, there's been much more hope around crypto-related reform and policies, which can help digital currencies soar in value. Bitcoin ended up hitting $100,000 about a month after his election win last year. Recently, it hit a new high yet again, proving that it may not have peaked just yet. But with Bitcoin's valuation at all-time highs, there could be some apprehension from crypto investors to continue buying into the rally, especially with no visible catalyst to suggest it should go higher in the near term. That's why a possible rotation may be overdue, and why Shiba Inu's coin may look more attractive to investors. At an $8.4 billion market cap, it's a fraction of the size of Bitcoin (worth around $2.1 trillion), and it's even well behind Dogecoin, which has a valuation of nearly $33 billion. Shiba has been a popular coin with retail investors, and with the Shibarium completing its billionth transaction last month, showing proof of its growing adoption in the crypto world, a rally could be overdue. Another reason investors might consider buying Shiba Inu is that its valuation is fairly low with respect to where it was late last year, not just compared to other coins. On Monday, the coin was trading at around $0.00001431. But back in December 2024, it was at more than twice that price, and on Dec. 4, 2024, it closed as high as $0.00003284. Now, there's no guarantee that Shiba's coin will return to that kind of valuation anytime soon. But it has normally been one of the more popular meme coins, and with it lagging far behind Dogecoin and now being just the 16th most valuable coin in the crypto world (Dogecoin is eighth), investors may see some attractive potential for the meme coin to make up for some lost ground. Without a catalyst, however, it's anyone's guess if or when a stronger surge in value may happen for Shiba Inu. But amid loosening crypto restrictions and the possibility of more coins launching their own spot exchange-traded funds this year, there may still be more bullishness and excitement to come into the crypto world as a whole. And if Shiba Inu and its beaten-down valuation attracts investors, it may have a lot to gain from any positive developments in the broader crypto market. There are a lot of potential upsides for Shiba Inu, but there's also plenty of risk that comes with holding it. The coin's movements can be sudden and erratic. While Shiba Inu has been rising in value over the past month, there has been plenty of volatility along the way. For most investors, crypto is too risky to invest in; Shiba Inu, being a meme coin, is an even riskier option to consider holding on to. If, however, you want to take a chance on Shiba Inu, my suggestion is to only allocate a small portion of your total portfolio to it -- an amount that if you lost it, you wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Can Shiba Inu Reach $1 in 2030?
To say that Shiba Inu has been on a wildly volatile journey would probably be putting it lightly. The meme cryptocurrency, inspired by its predecessor Dogecoin, absolutely skyrocketed in late 2021 to hit its peak in October that year. But it's been a bumpy downward trend since. As of April 25, this token trades 84% below its record, although it has had short-lived price bursts. Maybe this cryptocurrency is drawing the attention of risk-tolerant speculators who believe a monster run is in the cards throughout the rest of the decade. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Can Shiba Inu rise 7,112,276% from its current price of $0.00001406 to reach $1 per token in 2030? Here's what investors need to know about this truly ambitious target. I believe the long-term viability of any cryptocurrency depends on its ability to introduce real-world utility to the mix. Otherwise, a project might become irrelevant. Shiba Inu is trying to add more functionality to its blockchain. There's a layer-2 scaling solution called Shibarium that's meant to speed up transactions and lower costs. Users can interact with a Shiba Inu metaverse. And there are related tokens, like BONE for governance and LEASH for loyalty benefits, that can cater to more people. It's easy to argue, like I have in the past, that Shiba Inu doesn't solve a legitimate problem and provides no real-world value. I stand behind this view, which I think many others would agree with. However, it's not necessarily fair to say that Shiba Inu is worthless. We're almost five years past its launch, and the cryptocurrency is currently worth $8.3 billion, making it the 16th most valuable blockchain network on Earth. Despite the extreme volatility, there is some nominal monetary value here. Consequently, I believe it's best to look at Shiba as a type of new-age digital collectible. And this plays to the idea that cryptocurrencies are about community as well. The so-called SHIB army, Shiba Inu's supporters, have contributed to something that's worth more than companies like Sweetgreen, Hims & Hers Health, and Etsy, which is crazy to think. Since its launch in August 2020, Shiba Inu's price has catapulted almost 14,000-fold higher, even though it's trading significantly off its peak from late 2021. In order for the token to get to $1 by 2030, it would need to climb at an annualized rate of 834%. I don't think this is even remotely possible. The current token supply is 589 trillion. Based on a $1 price tag, this implies the entire blockchain network will be worth $589 trillion in five years. That would be about 20 times larger than the U.S. economy. This is an outrageously big number. There is a coin-burning mechanism in place to reduce the supply. According to 15.2 million tokens were burned in the past 24 hours. At this rate, it would take a whopping 66,000 days (or 180 years) to burn just 1 trillion tokens. That's hardly making a dent. Shiba Inu has found interest among speculators looking to gamble on its price movements. In theory, this seems pretty simple. Buy low and sell high, as they say. And then just repeat that process on the road to riches. The issue, though, is that this will undoubtedly end up badly. Investing is done right when there's an intense focus on the long term. And for long-term investors who want to own the highest-quality assets, it's best to avoid Shiba Inu at all costs. This strategy will work wonders for your portfolio, as well as your peace of mind.

Could Shiba Inu More Than Triple in Value and Catch Up to Dogecoin?
Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) used to be similarly valued cryptocurrencies. But Shiba Inu has been underperforming its rival meme coin over the past year, which appears to have gotten a boost from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) agency Elon Musk is behind -- its acronym is the same as the symbol for Dogecoin. Given its more modest valuation, however, Shiba Inu's coin may be in a more favorable position to rally from here on out, relative to its rival. But can it catch up to Dogecoin? Shiba Inu launched its Layer-2 blockchain, Shibarium, in August 2023, which was built to improve and enhance the processing of transactions. Recently, the Shibarium hit the 1 billion mark in transactions, which is a great sign of its use and adoption in the crypto community. Reaching the milestone can help show crypto investors that Shiba is more than just a meme coin, and that it can have real-world use cases. While there hasn't been a surge in Shiba Inu's value on this development, the crypto market as a whole has been struggling in recent weeks due to concerns about the economy due to tariffs and trade wars impacting countries all over the world. As of Monday, leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) was down more than 15% since the start of the year, which pales in comparison to Dogecoin's 53% crash and Shiba's 46% decline. If the Shibarium's recent milestone isn't enough to spark a rally, it may be hard to see anything else that might at this point. But given Shiba's relatively low valuation -- its market cap of $6.7 billion is far below Dogecoin at $22.1 billion -- that could make it a more attractive buy, should enthusiasm for the crypto market pick up again. Dogecoin has been the preferred meme stock of late, but if there's less news around the DOGE agency and with Musk stepping away from his role with the government in the near future, that could put less of a spotlight on Dogecoin. Without that, Shiba Inu and its lower valuation could make for a more compelling coin to buy. And the Shibarium's milestone could still prove to be a positive catalyst; it unfortunately happened at a time when many investors have soured on the crypto markets, at least temporarily. If it took place amid more excitement, the result may have been much more positive. Things can change quickly in the crypto world. There was initially a lot of hope and excitement that President Donald Trump would enact crypto-friendly policies that could give the crypto markets a big boost. Instead, things have gone sideways in recent months, with Trump launching his own meme coin. This sparked outrage in the crypto community, which believed that the new coin would undermine the industry's seriousness and legitimacy. The good news is when things change, they can change rapidly in crypto. Shiba has been struggling badly this year, far more than Bitcoin, but it may be well positioned to rally should enthusiasm in the crypto market return at some point this year, due to its lower valuation and the recent Shibarium milestone. However, investors should be careful not to assume it can catch up to Dogecoin, or that it can even deliver positive returns. If economic conditions don't improve and investors aren't feeling great about the economy, there may not be much excitement surrounding crypto. Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile investments to hang on to, and Shiba is by no means a slam-dunk buy at this point. While it may catch up to Dogecoin at some point, I wouldn't expect that to be anytime soon.
