Burning SHIB through Amazon Audible
Four days ago, game dev Travis Johnson offered the SHIB community to join him in burning Shiba Inu via Amazon Audible on his Travis Johnson Twitter page.
Each registration of a new participant via his referral link gives him a $5 bounty, which equals half a million SHIB.
This Sunday, as part of his weekly burns, the developer of games for smartphones destroyed more than 61 million Shiba Inu, according to a recent tweet.
Sunday Burn!
