The two most mentioned coins, BTC and ETH, attracted 2,350 and 864 tweets respectively. SHIB was also seen trending on the price aggregation website CoinMarketCap.

Over the Christmas weekend, Winklevoss twins’ Gemini Exchange held a poll on Twitter. The exchange asked its Twitter followers if SHIB will go to the moon or if Dogelon Mars is bound for the red planet. SHIB was the winner of the poll by a narrow margin.

Bigger Entertainment, the company associated with a Spotify Technology S.A. SPOT 1.08%+ playlist that burns SHIB tokens with every song that is streamed, tweeted that it had burned hundreds of millions of tokens on Sunday.

SHIB’s team along with Gokhshtein Media CEO David Gokhshtein are coming together on Dec. 29 at 6 p.m. PT to hold the first-ever SHIB Ask Me Anything (AMA) on Twitter Spaces. 

In May this year, Gokhshtein tweeted he was no longer going to “diss” SHIB. Later in the year, he noted SHIB’s popularity on Twitter and said it was good for the cryptocurrency space.

“As long as we can keep bringing more people here it’s all good,” said Gokhshtein.
