Community is one of the key factors that make a project succeed because once there is an acceptance of product or coin demand will always increase, one of the major means of marketing recently is networking, so seeing SHIBA like that, it's evidence of joint effort, which make it unstoppable.
Too much hype from the crypto community, as well as the whales who are manipulating it, is the reason why the price of it is too volatile. Seeing it remain steadily at the same price is quite hard since it doesn't have a firm purpose and function. I hope it would have a real purpose as a coin and would continuously develop in the future.
