According to U.Today, Billy Markus, also known as Shibetoshi Nakamoto on social media, the creator of the popular meme cryptocurrency DOGE, recently engaged his followers in a discussion about a hypothetical opportunity to earn $5 million within a year. He asked his followers if they would be willing to fly on Boeing flights for 8 hours a day for a year in exchange for $5 million. The discussion primarily revolved around the quality of Boeing flights and the potential for anxiety during such frequent flights. However, Markus did not reveal whether he would undertake such a challenge for $5 million.
In other news, Markus also shared his perspective on the recent 13% plunge in Bitcoin's price. Between July 1 and July 8, the leading cryptocurrency fell from $63,750 to $57,260. In response to this, Markus posted a meme of a sinking yacht titled 'No worries', seemingly indicating his calm attitude towards the fluctuating crypto market. Since the drop, Bitcoin's price has been on a roller coaster ride, first rising by 6.20% to $58,150, then dropping by 4.8%, and finally increasing by 3% again. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading in the $57,250 range.
Furthermore, Markus expressed disagreement with a recent study published in the Independent that suggested people who invest in cryptocurrencies tend to have 'dark traits' in their personalities, a concept referred to as the 'dark tetrad'. Markus strongly opposed this view, stating, 'I disagree and let me lengthily argue why I am right.'
