Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) has emerged as a strong competitor to the meme king Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE).

However, the well-known DOGE bull and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk made it amply clear that he doesn’t own any SHIB.

Musk’s revelation was made on Oct. 24, 2021, in response to a Shiba Inu-oriented Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) account asking him how much SHIB he was holding. At the time, Musk simply said, “None.”

The Investment: If an investor was not discouraged by Musk’s non-existent holdings of SHIB and put in $100 in the Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH)-based token at the time, here’s how much they would have now — keeping in mind SHIB’s press time price of $0.000027.

Date Of Purchase/Listing Purchase Amount Purchase Price Coins Obtained Current Worth Percentage Change
Oct. 24, 2021 $100 0.000036 2777777.78 $75 -25%

The investor would end up with a loss of 25% and the $100 would be only worth $75 at press time.

Not All Doom And Gloom: SHIB recently got a boost after Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:HOOD) said it had listed the token. If you invested $100 around the first Robinhood rumor, you would have seen a whopping 166.8% increase.
