Billy Markus, who invented Dogecoin ten years ago, has wrote a blog post outlining his current beliefs and engagement with the cryptocurrency. The post’s frequently asked questions (FAQ) style discloses Markus’ unvarnished sentiments on Dogecoin and the market as a whole.
Markus just stated “No” when asked if he represents Dogecoin. Furthermore, when asked if he had any professional ties to Dogecoin, he said, “No. I’ve been away from it for ten years.” This is a clear indication that the project’s developer is no longer directly involved in the project’s current development or direction.
Markus also addressed the misunderstanding that he would be envious of the success of other currencies and tokens. He answered, “I literally don’t care, I just don’t like being harassed and attacked for clout.”
He continued by saying that a decade ago, Dogecoin was developed to make fun of the “stupid” cryptocurrency ecosystem of the moment. Today, he thinks the atmosphere has gotten even “stupider,” with individuals playing poker against one another and attempting to throw their bags on one another. Markus’ biggest worry is the intimidation he receives from the neighbourhood, and he wants it to cease.
He was also questioned in the comments about his goals for Dogecoin and cryptocurrencies in general. He replied in jest, “I’ll update this FAQ every two days.”
The article provides an intriguing glimpse inside the mind of one of the most well-known and popular cryptocurrencies. It emphasises that Dogecoin’s founder is not involved in the project’s development or serves in any position as a representative. It also acts as a reminder of Dogecoin’s initial purpose as a playful spoof of the cryptocurrency industry.
