DOGECOIN CREATOR : " I WON'T SELL BITCOIN UNTIL IT'S $1 BILLION"

Billy Markus, the co-founder of Dogecoin, recently made a humorous statement that he won't sell his Bitcoin holdings until it reaches $1 billion per coin.

However, it's essential to note that he only owns 0.006 Bitcoins, which is currently valued at around $528. Markus is known for his sarcastic and ironic tweets, and this statement is likely meant to poke fun at unrealistic crypto price expectations.

Markus's comment comes amidst Bitcoin's significant surge, having risen by over 100% since the beginning of 2024 and hitting an all-time high of $93,207.

The Dogecoin creator has also shared his thoughts on the crypto market's volatility, jokingly asking, "Why isn't bitcoin a million dollars yet? I have been waiting 2 days. Crypto is a scam!"

It's worth mentioning that Markus has been open about his crypto holdings and experiences. He previously sold his Dogecoin stash in 2015 for approximately $10,000, which he used to buy a Honda Civic. Apart from Bitcoin, Markus also holds Ethereum, some of which he sold at a loss to pay taxes.
