Billy Markus, co-creator of Dogecoin, offered an estimate of how much he earned from the project when it was first launched.
Despite the fact that the project was once valued at a whopping $80 billion, the developers of the famous Dogecoin, the most popular memecoin on the internet, have discovered that it is not a life-changing wealth. Billy Markus, now known as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, admitted in a recent Tweet that he didn’t make much money.
Dogecoin Co-Creator’s displeasure with fraud
Dogecoin, which is undoubtedly the king of meme currencies, continues to catch the attention of individual investors. Billy Markus admitted to feeling “salty” after only generating about $3K from launching Dogecoin. Markus also stated his displeasure with harassers and fraudsters obtaining absurd incentives for their unsuccessful businesses.
Jackson Palmer, another co-founder, left the initiative in 2015, seeing bitcoin as an exploitative method of enriching its top proponents. In response to a Twitter user’s tweet on Thursday, Markus also acknowledged that “dogecoin would have collapsed if Jackson and I had been greedy, 100% of the time.”
The Co-creator attacks other meme coins
Markus has slammed the designers of meme coins for proposing “ridiculous claims” that might attract investors to the scheme. He is particularly opposed to Shiba Inu, the meme coin that grew in popularity with Dogecoin in 2021.
He attacked Shiba Inus’ new Metaverse project for creating “random metaverse” and “selling false land” using Ethereum and added that he would be irritated by the initiative if he were a SHIB holder.
