A relationship which is intended for to evolve. And the Covid-19 pandemic made it clear. AND’ that between general practitioner and patient.

The basic doctor represents the first point of reference for the patient, who confides to him her ailments, her symptoms and her fears. The doctor therefore has a great responsibility, both in terms of managing chronic conditions and in terms of prevention.

The development of modern technologies now allows the general practitioner to remain in constant contact with his patient, and the latter not necessarily having to go to the office for a consultation or to collect a prescription: an e-mail, a phone call or a video call can simplify life and facilitate contact and comparison. The doctor thinks so Katiusha Pittari, new general practitioner of Cardano al Campo, which adds: “And don’t think that the digital doctor is less present and cannot empathize with the patient. The doctor’s office is always open for anyone who needs to meet me in person “.

Ask the Doctor, a strong supporter of the Shiba meme, acquired 31 billion SHIB tokens in late November. However, they have now publicly denounced the token’s developers as fraudsters. The healthcare platform believes that the token is a scam because the SHIB’s founders withheld their real identities.

The Economy Feud

Canadian online healthcare firm AskTheDoctor had emerged as a top Shiba Inu influencer. However, in recent times, the meme coin has fallen out with the medical community, claiming that the memecoin is nothing but a scam. They say that the meme coin is “the biggest scam in crypto.” while also threatening to sue developer Shytoshi Kusama.

In addition, it is preparing to reveal the pseudonymous developer in a series of tweets. Shytoshi, on the other hand, said today that AskTheDoctor was operating a fraudulently acquired account on Twitter. He warned that the company was plotting to acquire money illegally.

The firm, later on, claimed to have gotten rid of SHIB from its books, and all merchandise has been refunded. Additionally, AskTheDoctor accused Shytoshi of creating the Squid Game token, the most infamous crypto scam of 2021.According to finbold, the developers of $SQUID are now $SHIB whales. After the downfall of $SQUID, a $125M purchase of $SHIB was made by a Squid Game wallet. Such reasons have given AskTheDoctor a motion to sue the memecoin’s developers.

The Shiba Inu team  provided many ultra-bullish predictions, including that Shiba Inu would surpass the Bitcoin market cap in now-deleted tweets. The official Twitter account is now promoting Floki Inu’s and boxer Tyson Fury’s “cool mental health” project with no further information given.

Shytoshi claims that he could sue AskTheDoctor for libel but doesn’t want to pursue the matter. Also, Dogecoin’s co-founder Billy Markus characterized AskTheDoctror’s Twitter feed as a “sitcom” in a series of tweets. He added that it was exciting to witness SHIB members go after the company that had assaulted their community leader.

Earlier Collaborations

On December 1, two of the epidemic’s most significant developments, telemedicine, and cryptocurrency, again came into a collaboration. The move happened when Canada’s online medical service provider added $1.5 million in Shiba Inu to their balance sheet.

They are now ready to take the currency as payment for services rendered.

The company asked 27,000 people on Twitter what they would like it to add to its balance sheet. The majority of people voted for the option “SHIB-USD.” After being inspired by Shiba Inu’s strong community, the medical entity updated its profile picture to the Shiba Inu logo.

Additionally, it challenged its followers to change their profile pictures to SHIB. They were to do that until SHIB hits 0.0001. However, the health services firm now threatens to sue SHIB developers in a surprising turn of events. The medical company threatened to bring him into court in a further attempt to force the Shiba Inu founder’s identity.

Canadian telehealth firm Ask the Doctor jumped on the Shiba Inu (CCC:SHIB-USD) bandwagon on Dec. 1 when it bought $1.5 million in tokens of the popular cryptocurrency.

I wrote about the move a few days later. 

“Ask the Doctor has accepted Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD) since 2016, so it’s fair to say it’s a big proponent of cryptocurrencies. In addition, it has already begun to accept Dogecoin (CCC:DOGE-USD) for payments for services such as prescriptions and dental services,” I wrote on Dec. 6. 

I finished my article by suggesting a day would come when a crypto such as SHIB-USD would completely replace the U.S. dollar as a form of payment. But, unfortunately, I also said that day hadn’t come. 

Fast forward three weeks and it looks like Ask the Doctor has permanently jumped off the Shiba Inu bandwagon. If you hold SHIB-USD tokens, here’s why you might consider doing the same.

Shiba Inu Is a Fraud

That’s the opinion of the good folks at Ask the Doctor.

According to CryptoPotato, Ask the Doctor withdrew its support for the cryptocurrency on Dec. 21, selling its entire Shiba Inu stake of 31 billion tokens. As a result, it no longer holds any of this pup coin on its balance sheet.

“Why is @ShytoshiKusama not revealing himself? Easier for scammers to hide from law enforcement and people coming after you? $shib is a scam #shibarmy, the 1% real is brainwashed and 99% is bots,” the company tweeted. 

Those are pretty harsh words for a healthcare organization to utter. Apparently, it even claimed that “the creators of the scam project Squid Game (SQUID) had ‘laundered’ some of their fraud proceeds by purchasing Shiba Inu tokens,” CryptoPotato also reported.

Ask the Doctor feels that unlike some of the other cryptocurrencies held on its balance sheet, Shiba Inu hides behind its cloak of anonymity, providing ample opportunity to defraud buyers such as itself. 

CryptoPotato makes an excellent point stating that Ask the Doctor knew about Shiba Inu’s anonymity before buying the $1.5 million.  

The question is, why is it now suggesting SHIB-USD is a fraud? Did something happen to Shiba Inu that the rest of the investment world is unaware of? That’s unlikely. 

Where There’s Smoke …

This is an example of a social media spat where investors may never learn the entire truth. It’s a classic, he said, she said. 

Over at CoinTelegraph, it reports that Ask the Doctor has lost approximately 17% of its followers on Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) due to its actions on social media. It does make you wonder why a company would get so hostile about this type of situation?

One answer could be that Shiba Inu has lost approximately one-third of its value since the beginning of December. That’s $500,000 in losses over three weeks. On an annualized basis, this would wipe out its entire investment.

However, I’m merely speculating on the reasons the company and its leader, Prakash Chand, totally snapped. 

Typically, in these situations, I’d be inclined to side with the accuser, not the accused. However, one of Shytoshi Kusama’s tweets defending Shiba Inu does seem to paint a negative picture of the Ask the Doctor founder.

“7 months ago… HMMM,” Kusama tweeted. “So from here on out we will ‘sniff’ all businesses before engaging with them on Twitter. Wouldn’t want to run across any scammers…”

I checked the FD7 Ventures website, the company behind Chand’s supposed $1 billion cryptocurrencies investment fund. It says it’s under construction. I’ve seen a ton of secretive hedge fund and venture capital websites. Even those provide a contact form.

While I’m not a big fan of Shiba Inu, the abrupt turn by Ask the Doctor suggests it’s more into lawsuits than cryptocurrencies. It’s not even close to being a smoking gun. 

If you bought SHIB-USD for the long haul, there’s nothing to see here.
