Wood’s optimism-a near-blind faith in technological salvation-echoes throughout history. And yet, beneath her calculations lies a profound tension. She speaks of safety, her words heavy with the sweet scent of statistical certainty: safety has improved by a factor of three since mid-2024, now teetering on the edge of the U.S. human accident rate.

Investors, perhaps looking for a bit of excitement, usually pegged them with an enterprise value to EBITDA ratio of around 11 or a price-to-free-cash-flow ratio of about 20.

Look, most people would probably tell you to buy Bitcoin over Shiba Inu. It’s tried, tested, and doesn’t have the “Is this a joke?” vibe. But let’s dive into this-because maybe, just maybe, there’s a case for Shiba Inu. Maybe it’s not all just dog biscuits and memes.
