Dogecoin creator reveals how much he made from the project
The creator of one of the most popular cryptocurrencies, Billy Markus, has revealed exactly how much he has earned creating the iconic asset that has attracted thousands, if not millions, of new users to the digital asset industry .
According to his most recent tweet, Markus discussed allegations of being too “salty” about influencers and developers who are making thousands and millions of dollars by pushing scams, while his creation with “80 billion dollars” of market capitalization made him only $3,000.
He also added that he is being attacked by strangers linked to shady crypto-related projects that bring millions to their creators and anyone associated with them.
Markus later added that he is not being too hard about it and felt fine unless he sold his cryptocurrency back in 2015 to pay rent. Considering that the total cryptocurrency market has enjoyed more than a tenfold increase, the funds paid for rent could now be worth a fortune.
He previously posted a thread about scammers and fake influencers in the cryptocurrency industry pushing shady projects for money and exploiting their own community. On top of that, they used to call out Markus for not handling the Dogecoin community properly and somehow letting the price drop.
After a series of attacks from influencers, Markus became a victim of regular users who most likely hold the first memecurrency but are still waiting for a strong price increase to sell their holdings at a profit with no type of contribution.
We can understand the frustration of the community as the price performance of Dogecoin over the past 150 days has been very negative as the cryptocurrency has lost over 30% of its value and over 80% from the all-time high.
