Billy Markus, co-creator of the renowned meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin, recently commented on Bitcoin's price movements, revealing his modest holdings and sharing his lighthearted outlook on its potential.
Markus' Bitcoin Holdings and Playful Price Target
Known on social media as "Shibetoshi Nakamoto," Markus disclosed that he holds just 0.006 BTC, currently valued at approximately $528.54. In a jesting tweet, he stated he won’t sell his Bitcoin “until it’s at $1 billion each,” adding a humorous twist to ongoing discussions about Bitcoin's potential.
This tweet came as Bitcoin briefly hit an all-time high of $93,434 before experiencing a sharp decline.
Reflections on Dogecoin’s Success
When asked about Dogecoin, which now boasts a market capitalization of $54.2 billion, Markus revealed that he earned only $10,000 from creating the coin. In 2015, he sold his Dogecoin holdings, along with other cryptocurrencies, to purchase a Honda Civic.
Insights on Crypto Market Sentiment
Markus has consistently shared his satirical take on cryptocurrency market trends. Responding to those frustrated with Bitcoin’s price movements, he quipped:
"Why isn’t Bitcoin a million dollars yet? I’ve been waiting two days. Crypto is a scam!"
On November 13, when Bitcoin hit $92,754, he humorously speculated whether it would surpass $100,000 or crash to zero.
DOGE’s Recent Surge
Dogecoin experienced an 83% weekly surge as of November 11, reaching $0.43 before stabilizing at $0.3716. Markus expressed his surprise in a tweet, asking, “What the heck is going on with DOGE?”
When a commenter suggested DOGE could reach $1, Markus responded optimistically:
"Nothing is impossible in the unpredictable world of cryptocurrency."
Final Thoughts
Billy Markus’ candid and humorous commentary highlights both the volatility and unexpected opportunities in the cryptocurrency market. Whether it’s Bitcoin’s highs or Dogecoin’s surprising surges, his remarks underscore the unpredictable nature of this evolving industry.
