Billy Markus, one of the co-creators of the beloved meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin, is making waves once again with his witty take on the crypto market. Known on social media as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, Markus recently commented on Bitcoin's rollercoaster price action, revealing his own BTC holdings and setting an audacious — if not entirely serious — price target for the king of crypto.
"I Won’t Sell Until Bitcoin Hits $1 Billion"
In a tweet that perfectly encapsulates his signature humor, Markus declared he won’t part with his Bitcoin stash until it hits an eye-watering $1 billion per coin. However, his holdings are a modest 0.006 BTC, worth about $528.54 at Bitcoin’s current price.
"I won’t sell my bitcoin until it’s at 1 billion dollars each. I have .006 bitcoin," he quipped on X (formerly Twitter).
This tweet comes after Bitcoin’s recent rally saw it hit an all-time high of $93,434 before experiencing a sharp correction.
DOGE Creator’s Modest Gains from Iconic Meme Coin
Despite Dogecoin’s meteoric rise to a $54.2 billion market cap, Markus hasn’t exactly reaped the rewards of his creation. He candidly shared that he only made $10,000 from Dogecoin, which he sold in 2015 to purchase a Honda Civic.
The crypto pioneer is no stranger to irony. Earlier today, he took a jab at those expecting Bitcoin to skyrocket overnight, saying:
"Why isn’t bitcoin a million dollars yet? I have been waiting 2 days. Crypto is a scam!"
DOGE to $1? "Nothing Is Impossible"
Dogecoin recently surged 83% in a week, prompting Markus to tweet in amazement, "What the heck is going on Doge?" When asked if this could finally push DOGE to the elusive $1 mark, Markus responded in his trademark tongue-in-cheek style:
"Nothing is impossible in the crazy world of cryptocurrency."
At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.3716, down slightly from its recent high of $0.43.
From Meme to Market Phenomenon
The rise of Dogecoin and its enduring popularity demonstrate the unpredictable and often absurd nature of the crypto world. While Markus sold his DOGE years ago, his influence as a cultural figure in the cryptocurrency space remains undeniable.
With his humorous and grounded approach, Markus reminds us that crypto is more than just numbers — it's a wild ride fueled by dreams, memes, and sometimes, a little sarcasm.
