It was a bitcoin copy that changed a few numbers in the code and added some words (much wow!) and some pictures of Shibas. Literally.

It's never going to a dollar. There are 14 million new ones made every day. Btc has a hard cap and its issuance schedule is much smaller -- that's the only reason it has value.

It's not been hidden, but it's also not well known outside cryptocurrency circles.

That chain generates 2/3s as much every single day as the bitcoin chain will ever generate in its entire existence.
