I doubt that Shiba Inu will ever be able to turn into a privacy coin like Monero or ZCash. Especially because Monero and Zcash are already better as they are and Shiba Inu is not really a coin but rather a ERC20 token. Which means it does not have its own blockchain, unlike Monero, for example. And as its on the Ethereum blockchain, it will never be an effective privacy token. Furthermore, I would stay away from any coin/token which is being held by Vitalik Buterin. He already sold part of his SHIB, showing everyone that he does not care about Shiba Inu, and recently he started selling tokens he does not consider "culturally or morally viable".
I am certain that its better to stay away.

It's technically hard (if not impossible) to add features to a token living on an existing Blockchain network (in this case, the Ethereum blockchain). It would increase gas costs and completely slow down the network. That's because ETH doesn't have the capacity to process smart contracts' computations at a large scale. If developers decide to make Shiba Inu a "privacy coin", they're going to have to use a L2 network just to reduce the burden on the main ETH blockchain. Or they could just create a decentralized mixer like Tornado.Cash that would let SHIBA users "launder" their coins on the go.
With Vitalik not taking the project seriously, we can't expect the token to "explode" in price anytime soon. It won't even reach $0.01 during its lifetime. Who knows if it dies in the long run as people move on to the next big thing in crypto? Just my opinion
