Shiba Inu Lead Criticizes WazirX Over Delisting

Lucie, the marketing lead for Shiba Inu, has publicly criticized WazirX in response to the recent delisting of SHIB by two centralized exchanges. Although she did not explicitly name the platforms, her post on X indicated that WazirX was among those she was referring to. Lucie highlighted the unreliability of certain centralized exchanges, stating that they often list tokens that pay them significant fees while promoting low-effort projects that quickly disappear. She emphasized that the true measure of success is adoption, not dependency on these exchanges.

Lucie clarified that the delisting of SHIB was not due to low trading volume, describing the move as manipulative. She assured users that SHIB was far from the lowest volume on the platforms and urged them not to panic or spread unnecessary fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD). Lucie expressed her distrust in centralized exchanges, noting that she has never used the two exchanges in question and has no intention of doing so in the future. She advocated for a shift towards decentralized finance (DeFi), suggesting that exchanges should only be used for basic swapping rather than long-term dependence.

Lucie's message to the SHIB community was clear: focus on building and embracing DeFi, and avoid getting distracted by the drama surrounding centralized exchanges. She pointed out that high-profile tokens like XRP have faced similar challenges in the past, such as being delisted during legal disputes, but have managed to survive. Lucie emphasized that the crypto ecosystem stands for real financial freedom, not centralized control, and that the community should not rely on third-party manipulation.

Lucie's criticism of WazirX and other centralized exchanges comes at a time when the crypto community is grappling with the failures of several prominent platforms. She cited FTX, Hotbit, and WazirX as examples of exchanges that initially appeared solid but ultimately collapsed or failed to protect users. Lucie's comments reflect a growing sentiment within the crypto community that decentralized solutions are the key to achieving true financial freedom and security.
