"I Didn't Know I'd Stepped Into a Caw Bubble" — The One Who Inherited SHIB Said the Word Out Loud

Three letters slipped out of the mouth of the one who leads SHIB — “Caw.” ❶ What happened: On August 14, 2024, someone who posts about CAW (X: @infinity3_6_9, “Crypto泉”) noticed something odd — SHIB's current lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama (@ShytoshiKusama), had started following back the very people posting about CAW. ❷ His own words: In the exchange, Shytoshi replied, “I followed you like I did across every feed I answered — I didn't know I'd stepped into a 'Caw bubble.'” Viewed over 54,800 times, and there, plainly, sat the letters C-A-W. ❸ Whose seat he inherited: Shytoshi Kusama is SHIB's pseudonymous lead — and he took the helm only after SHIB's anonymous founder, Ryoshi, vanished in 2022. That same Ryoshi sits at the heart of CAW's own origin lore (“Hunter” reads as Ryoshi in Japanese; and at the moment he deleted everything he changed his avatar — to Milarepa, the hermit poet, not to the bird the retellings claim: see the separate entry). 🔍 Observatory: Up to here it all checks out — the reply is real, the account is SHIB's official lead, the view count stands, and the SHIB and CAW crowds have always heavily overlapped (“#CAW army ♥️ #SHIB army” posts are beyond counting). Read plainly, this is the bemused voice of someone who kept replying and found his feed full of CAW — not a claim of involvement. And yet — of every voice on every feed, it was the one who inherited Ryoshi's throne who said “Caw” out loud, in front of 54,800 pairs of eyes. Plain community overlap, or a quiet thread reaching all the way back to Ryoshi… that's for the one looking to decide. Long may that small flicker of wonder keep its light. 🐦‍⬛
