Ethereum $10,000 and Solana $1,000: Shibo Kept the Upside Board Unchanged for Days

$400,000 was the Bitcoin level David Chaboki (Shibo) put on the board in mid-to-late August 2026, paired with Solana at $1,000 and Ethereum at $10,000, while he argued the chart was already sliding into a violent-pump phase.

The number alone is not the story. The streak is. From August 16 through August 21, Shibo, posting as @GodsBurnt, ran a near-daily sequence of bullish price calls that treated pullbacks as noise and upside as the base case. One loud target is easy. A full week of the same structure, refreshed in public, is how mindshare sticks when majors are getting bid and candles stay green.

A multi-day price thesis, not a one-post spike

On August 16 he framed the next bull as the loudest in history, with retail flooding markets and alts and memes going crazy for people who stacked through the prior four years. On August 17 he pointed to a 30-day window around the CLARITY Act and potential surprise rate cuts, comparing crypto’s coming move to what the AI industry already did for early stackers.

By August 18 the line was a generational run. He cited a September 15 Senate vote on CLARITY, a September 16 FOMC with room for surprise cuts, and institutions having under 30 days to bid as much crypto as they could. August 19 kept the same rails. One post sketched a “mother of all Crypto pumps” setup around dollar pressure, softer jobs, cooling inflation, and “Not QE” framing from the U.S. Treasury, calling risk-on Q4 the path to a parabolic leg. Another cited an SEC crypto-asset regulatory proposal, ETFs bidding Bitcoin again, BlackRock’s 1-2% allocation talk, and that same September 15 CLARITY date, urging buyers not to wait for perfect entries.

Violent pumps and the giga-rally language

Friday, August 21, pushed the thesis fully into candle talk. Shibo wrote that crypto was about to go on a giga rally, that familiar chart rules would fail, and that the move was already starting. Violent pumps would keep printing after every “surely we pull back now” feeling, higher and then higher again. A parallel post said crypto was pumping 10X harder than anyone imagined, with retail still not fully in. Another reminded followers he had warned them over and over that the cycle’s massive euphoric retail frenzy was still ahead, and that everything before it shook out non-believers.

That same day he restated the board in plain numbers: Bitcoin to $400,000, Solana to $1,000, Ethereum to $10,000, plus a bookmark-me portfolio figure of $14,875,398. Those are upside targets on a public feed, not settled spot outcomes. What matters for this story is that the ladder did not wobble across the week.

Spaces kept the streak on the air

Written posts were only half the run. @GodsBurnt also dropped Crypto Spaces Network links across August 18 through 21, including sessions on each of those days. David Chaboki (Shibo) co-hosts the daily Crypto Spaces Network broadcast and has been in crypto since 2017. Pairing the same price ladder with live shows is how a thesis stays warm when timelines move on in hours.

Longevity is the edge

This stretch holds up because the message did not pivot every morning. Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana stayed on fixed upside rails while catalysts rotated around CLARITY, FOMC, ETF bids, and macro color. For anyone watching green candles and majors ripping, that kind of multi-day continuity is rare.

Live prices, 24-hour changes, and independent proof that any single call perfectly timed a quantified rally are outside what this article can show. What is on the record is the streak: successive posts, named upside levels, giga-rally language, and a claim that pumps were already cooking while retail had not fully arrived. In a market that chops faster than most theses last, that mid-August run is why his chart calls kept owning mindshare whenever the candles stayed bid.
