The battle between two hot cryptocurrencies centered on the Shiba Inu dog was the topic in a Benzinga Twitter poll.
The Poll: Benzinga asked its Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) followers a simple question about Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB).
The question was: “Do you own SHIB or DOGE?”
Benzinga’s questions generated over 17,000 votes and a heated debate in the comments from passionate fans of both coins.
The poll comes as Dogecoin is up more than 5,000% year-to-date and Shiba Inu is up millions of percent on the calendar year.
The Poll Results: Benzinga followers love cryptocurrency or skipped voting on the poll.
- The answer neither SHIB or DOGE owned was answered by only 8.1% of respondents.
- 15.9% of people said they own both SHIB and DOGE.
- 31.7% said they owned only DOGE.
- And the winner was SHIB with 44.3% of votes.

The comments on Twitter were entertaining and showed how loyal the communities were.
@base5NYC referenced a recent whale purchase in SHIB being the reason they invested in the cryptocurrency.
I wasn’t a believer in Shib at all until I saw that whale drop 40m on it. He must have known something to do that…I dropped 3k on it same day. I’m up over 80% in a few days. Yup #SHIB for the win. #Doge #SHIBARMY #crypto

Another user Luke The Viking pushed out poll aside and chose a different Shiba-related cryptocurrency altogether.
