Personally, I dont think buying SHIB is the best idea. If you are going to buy SHIB, may as well take it to the casino. At least you'll know straight away if you win. 500 bucks worth of scratch tickets is also in the same arena.
Everything in the market is red right now. People have given up on the crypto space for now. Which can only mean one thing.... good time to buy. If the good bets are going for cheap, why go for an unlikely moonshot?
RUNE for example. It hit its ATH in May last year -$21. Its currently trading at $5.6. You should look for projects like that to put your money into rather than SHIB. That is just my opinion however. You could put it into SHIB and become a crypto millionaire. I just think that is highly unlikely, especially right now. There is no mania to drive the market right now. That wont happen again until after BTC hits a new all time high again.
