Brandon King goes a little overboard

New England Patriots star linebacker Brandon King wants to get in on the crypto action. He’s been investing in Shiba Inu ($SHIB). Shiba Inu ($SHIB) is an alternative to the world-famous meme Dogecoin. It was started anonymously by a person who called themselves Ryoshi. Shiba Inu ($SHIB) and Dogecoin are the next big thing after Bitcoin. 

Brandon King wanted to invest in the infamous Shiba Inu ($SHIB) coin. When your last name is king, you spend like a king too. The New England Patriots linebacker proved that point as he has invested a large sum of his earnings on the crypto coin. When the ERC-20 token fell 37% from its highest price on 28 October, King went to Twitter to support the $SHIB and he has bought over $100 million worth of it.

Brandon has been putting a lot of his faith in the Shiba Inu. He has been investing in this coin since October. He has tweeted, “Buy more $SHIB”, and “Buy the dip $SHIB.” The Shiba Inu ($SHIB) has a large presence online, as it has witnessed its price drops despite the new exchange listings.

This popular meme coin has also gained the attention of the NASCAR driver, Keith McGee. The disabled veteran one day woke up to $181 million worth of $SHIB in his bank account. The Alaskan native tweeted about the incident, “Hey @coinbase I woke up to having $181 million extra dollars in my account that doesn’t belong to me and I would like to return it.”

Other NFL players like the Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, and the legendary Tom Brady are also investing in crypto. Cryptocurrency has brought fortunes to many people around the world who know how to invest their money. It looks like Brandon King, unlike Keith McGee, will keep his earnings to himself and he is probably not going to stop investing in the Shiba Inu ($SHIB) soon.
