So, ShibaSearch.

Burn projects make sense - if your head is itching, you give it a scratch; if you need to burn a crypto token, you make a tool for burning it.

Following the same main principle, that is to create revenue through ads, all burn projects aim to shave the token’s supply down in hopes to push its price up and give birth to a whole generation of self-made crypto zillionaires.

ShibaSearch is quite unique in the way that it is not just a website, or a Youtube channel - it’s a whole search engine, akin to giants like Google, Yahoo and others, with an extra angle of burning Shiba Inu through their 90% ad revenue burn pledge. But how do they compare? Is it a real game changer, or just a flashy trinket riding on the tails of the Shib community?

We’ll get to that in a second, after a quick history lesson.

History

ShibaSearch first showed up around November 2021, led by a secretive bloke known only as Mr.Dran. 

History lesson is over. You’re now knowledgeable enough to qualify for a P.h.D. in cryptology. 

Goals

As per Mr.Dran, the ultimate goal of ShibaSearch is to give everyday Shibsters a way to burn the token through something everyone these days is hooked on - surfing the web. That, and to keep the “evil crypto whales” on a short leash!

The latter may need a bit more explaining. 

It’s no secret that crypto whales capitalize on pumps and dumps. They grab up huge loads of crypto, exhausting supply and pumping the price up, then dump it back in at a higher value, more often than not crashing the market. Then it’s rinse and repeat, until they’ve made freight trains worth of dough, while smaller hodlers are left with a twitching eye.

ShibaSearch is aiming to be the ultimate killer of such pump and dump schemes. Now to the how of it.

In a nutshell, being theoretically capable of driving in millions of cabbage in monthly ad revenue, with a potential to burn billions of SHIB at any given time, ShibaSearch was envisioned to be the handbrake on the whales’ ability to create crazy price swings, whenever they feel like cashing out big time. 

If any whale is dumb enough to do that, ShibaSearch will step in, bag up the dumped tokens and blackhole them the very next day, negating the adverse effects of the dump and forcing the whale to buy in at an even higher price next time. 

Sounds good.

The only missing link is the end goal of the project, that is, at what point will ShibaSearch cease to burn its revenue? Make no mistake, SHIB can’t be burned forever. Its supply is huge, not infinite. There must be some ‘Day X’ when the right amount of tokens had finally been destroyed that you can’t keep it up anymore (unless your dream is to burn it to the last token).

Come Day X, where’s that revenue going then? 

We’re talking about what’s supposed to be millions of dollars a month! Let’s say for argument’s sake that now we begin to divert that revenue towards rewarding our users with Shiba Inu. Under the hood, it would look something like this:

 “X amount of SHIB will be bought out of supply and distributed among Y amount of users”. 

But that might quickly turn into an endless cycle of people being rewarded tokens, then selling them just to be rewarded them again - all for free. Sort of a pump and dump, only now done by hundreds of thousands of people backed up by a source of perpetual rewards, unlike the whales who have to risk their own money.

But that’s all theory, topped off with conjecture and sprinkled with wild guesses. How that turns out in real life, we will see.

Achievements

Since kicking off their first burn on January 26, 2022, ShibaSearch has burned a total of 134.79M SHIB, worth $ 3252.32.

Their burns are transparent, meaning they were live streamed, with links to Etherscan and burn streams available on their page. Here’s an example of one of their burns.

Technical analysis

At the moment, ShibaSearch runs off of Google’s search algorithms and comes packed with all sorts of bells and whistles a casual internet junkie may ever need: browser extensions for Chrome/Firefox with ShibaSearch set as the homepage, both IOS and Android apps (so you don’t have to lug your desktop around with you all day), updates on current SHIB stats - you name it, they got it! And it’s all FREE.

What made us curious is how fast ShibaSearch performs against other well-established giants. After all, it’s a search engine and should be used for what search engines were designed to do - searching for info. Let’s see… How about something that’s not SHIB-related?

Let’s punch in “how to catch Bigfoot?”

As you can see, ShibaSearch took all of 0.41 seconds to turn up 42 million results. Not too shabby. There’s no tab for videos, but that may come later as the project develops.

Google, on the other hand, graced us with 145 million results in 0.61 seconds. Plus the extra stuff dangling off to the side. 

But let’s be honest here for a second, who’s ever gonna read through all 42 million results, let alone 145 million? So unless you’re a tech-minded IT buff, those are just numbers with no real impact on your daily web surfing. Also, neither told us how to actually catch the Big Hairy Dude. Clearly, they’re both hiding something!

That should be enough to get you started on utilizing ShibaSearch. You can get in touch with them and find out more by hitting up their Twitter, Discord, Youtube and Telegram.

At the end of the day, ShibaSearch is definitely worth everyone’s shot. It’s technically good enough that you can use it at least partially, without forcing yourself to do it just for the sake of helping SHIB. Their credibility has so far proved solid, too! You can sleep easy at night knowing you’re not nurturing another scam project with your time and effort.
