Dogecoin Co-Creator Reflects on Crypto Holdings
Billy Markus, known as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, the co-creator of Dogecoin (DOGE), has shared insights into his past cryptocurrency holdings.
Responding to inquiries, Markus disclosed that he had invested in the Solana meme coin Moo Deng, but it subsequently declined. He acknowledged his difficulty in making sound token purchases.
Regarding his Dogecoin holdings, Markus revealed that he had not only sold his DOGE stash but his entire crypto portfolio in a single transaction, including 50 Bitcoin (BTC), 440 Litecoin (LTC), and 6 million DOGE. This sale was motivated by both financial necessity and dissatisfaction with the DOGE community's evolution.
Despite missing out on substantial gains, Markus remains a notable figure in the crypto space. With two million followers on X, he has amassed a significant social capital that has grown over time.
