DOGE loses leadership to SHIB on Twitter, but it still has Elon Musk
As covered by U.Today earlier this week, the follower count of the second largest coin, Shiba Inu, has flipped that of Dogecoin on Twitter. Now, SHIB has 3.44 million subscribers versus 3.43 million of the official Dogecoin account.
However, DOGE still holds its leading position by market capitalization value on CoinMarketCap against Shiba Inu — 10th place versus 12th place. Besides, unlike Shiba Inu, Dogecoin has «Tony Stark» from real life, as he was referred to on Twitter recently, Elon Musk as its biggest and most influential follower.
As a reminder, Tesla has recently integrated DOGE as a means of payment for merch in its online store. In his recent tweet, Musk announced that he will keep supporting Dogecoin and that he keeps buying it.
