Shiba Inu's Price Precision Problem: 0.175 Percent Steps Hiding Small Movements

The price of Shiba Inu (SHIB) is a number with eight decimal places, $0.00000571, and its daily range is 1.77 percent. On a quiet day, the coarse price step of 0.175 percent can hide small price movements, making it difficult to set stop-losses or limits.

For context, Bitcoin's price is $85,246, with a one-cent price change corresponding to 0.0000117 percent. This highlights the significant difference in price precision between SHIB and Bitcoin.

The SHIB contract on Ethereum has 18 decimal places, allowing for much finer price precision. However, the price display in apps has only eight decimal places, limiting the precision of price movements.
