# Can SHIB rise to $1? Mathematics reveals the truth

This is a classic question: if SHIB rises from $0.000008 to $1, can investors make a fortune? The answer is - absolutely not, even if it really rises, it's useless.

**Why is it impossible? The curse of supply.**

The circulating supply of SHIB is currently 589.2 billion coins, with a market cap of $4.8 billion. To reach $1, the market cap would need to soar to $58.92 billion — equivalent to 5 times the global GDP and 10 times the total market cap of the S&P 500. There is no reasonable demand that can support this figure.

**Take a step back, the community is doing "burning".**

The IDEA reduces supply by burning coins, which theoretically would cause the price to rise. However, to support a price of $1, 99.99998% of the coins would need to be burned. At the current burn rate (an average of 94.2 million coins per month), it would take 520,000 years. Your descendants, 5000 generations later, will only see this day, and they will have to endure 500,000 years of inflation... By then, what can $1 buy?

**Core Irony:** Even if it truly burns up to $1, investors still won't make money. Because your coins have decreased by 99.99998%, the rise is completely offset.

**Conclusion?** The story of SHIB has long been told. The 45,278,000% return in 2021 is already a swan song, and those attracted now are basically gamblers, not investors.
