Interesting comments came from the creator of the most popular meme coin, Dogecoin (DOGE). Founder Billy Markus has announced that he earns quite a bit from DOGE. Here are the details…
Billy Markus made just $3,000 with Dogecoin
Billy Markus, co-founder of the biggest meme coin Dogecoin, by creating the iconic asset that attracts thousands, if not millions, of new users to the cryptocurrency space. revealed exactly how much he earned. According to his latest tweet, Markus revealed that while he was discussing allegations that he was being too “brutal” about influencers and developers who made thousands and millions of dollars by scamming, creating DOGE, which traded with a “$80 billion” market cap, only earned him $3,000.
Also, questionable crypto-related that brought millions to its creators and everyone associated with them. He added that he was attacked by foreigners affiliated with the projects. Markus later added that he wasn’t too harsh about it and felt pretty good before selling the cryptocurrency to pay rent in 2015. Funds paid for rent could now be worth a fortune, given that the total cryptocurrency market has grown more than tenfold since then, as we reported on Kriptokoin.com.
Markus calls out to scammers
He previously ran a thread about scammers and fake influencers in the cryptocurrency industry who advertise questionable projects for money and exploit their own communities. With these statements, we can say that he is the target of the community again. However, this reaction may also be related to changes in DOGE’s price. While Billy Markus has nothing to do with it, some investors seem to be trying to justify the DOGE price drop from the DOGE founder.
We can understand the community’s frustration as Dogecoin’s price performance over the last 150 days has been extremely negative. Ranking twelfth by market cap, DOGE has lost 80 percent since May 2021, when it hit its all-time high. Its one-year return is still over 150%.
