One of the two creators of the original meme coin DOGE, Billy Markus, has taken to the X app to publish a post about his plans to buy a house in the California state, where he lives.

However, he believes that the housing market could be fragile in the U.S. at the moment, or rather, Markus does not believe in his own luck should he purchase a house. In the X post, he wrote that if he ever decides to buy a house, "most likely the housing market crash will come minutes later."

그러나 그는 현재 미국 주택 시장이 취약할 수 있다고 믿고 있으며, 오히려 Markus는 집을 구입하면 자신의 행운을 믿지 않습니다. X 포스트에서 그는 집을 구입하기로 결정했다면 "주택 시장 붕괴는 몇 분 후에 올 가능성이 높다"고 썼습니다.

Still, Markus states that prices for houses in California are quite high as they stand at roughly $2 million for a house under 1,500 square feet.

According to data from Forbes, the average 30-year mortgage rate in the U.S. has risen for the seventh consecutive week and reached 7.79% this week. "Given current rate conditions, it's no wonder that year-over-year existing home sales sagged for the third consecutive month, slipping by 0.7%, with all four major U.S. regions posting declines, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR)."

포브스 자료에 따르면 미국의 평균 30년 모기지 금리는 7주 연속 상승해 이번 주 7.79%에 이르렀다. NAR(전미부동산중개인협회)에 따르면 현재 금리 상황을 고려할 때 기존 주택 매매가 전년 동기 대비 3개월 연속 감소해 0.7% 감소한 것은 놀라운 일이 아니며 미국 4개 주요 지역 모두 감소세를 기록했습니다. "

At the start of the year, Markus admitted that he and the second co-founder of DOGE, Jackson Palmer, made "next to nothing" on Dogecoin as they only made this meme cryptocurrency as a parody of Bitcoin. But ironically, DOGE became popular.

As for the meme coins that were made later on, Billy Markus stated without naming any particular assets, they were created with a goal to make money for the developers from gamblers.

However, Markus admitted, creators of some meme cryptocurrencies try to give their users some utility.

그러나 Markus는 일부 밈 암호화폐 제작자가 사용자에게 유용성을 제공하려고 노력하고 있음을 인정했습니다.
