Billy Markus, who created the original meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin together with Jackson Palmer in 2013, has taken to the X platform (formerly know as Twitter) to comment on a media article about his net worth as of 2023.

2013년 Jackson Palmer와 함께 최초의 밈 암호화폐 Dogecoin을 만든 Billy Markus는 X 플랫폼(이전의 Twitter)을 통해 2023년 현재 자신의 순자산에 대한 미디어 기사에 댓글을 달았습니다.

In his typical ironic manner, Markus (known on the X app as Shibetoshi Nakamoto) criticized that publication and stated that his actual net worth is much less than the figure mentioned by the undisclosed media.

Markus(X 앱에서는 Shibetoshi Nakamoto로 알려짐)는 전형적인 아이러니한 방식으로 해당 출판물을 비판하고 자신의 실제 순자산이 미공개 언론에서 언급한 수치보다 훨씬 적다고 말했습니다.

Does Markus indeed have $5 million? Here’s his comment

The article published by Techiegamers stated that as of this year, Markus is worth $5 million in Markus commented on that, saying that if he did have those $5 million he would be “way more chill about money”.

Techiegamers가 발행한 기사에 따르면 올해 현재 Markus는 500만 달러의 가치가 있다고 말하면서 Markus가 그 500만 달러를 가지고 있다면 "돈에 대해 훨씬 더 냉담해질 것"이라고 말했습니다.

Billy Markus revealed that contrary to what the article says, he has a lot less than $1 million and jokingly added that he has “a very large interest in making money”.

it’s hilarious that this is one of the first articles about me on the internet as my net worth is well under a million dollars and i have a very large interest in making money 🤣if i did have 5 million dollars tho, i would be wayyyyyy more chill about money pic.twitter.com/0xGqhLWWnk

According to Markus’ earlier tweets, he loves his job, which is likely to be related to software engineering, and he would not swap it for a position in the X app’s team working for Elon Musk, despite the fact that they two are on friendly terms, communicating mostly via tweets.

As reported earlier, in 2021, as the DOGE price plunged by around 90% from its all-time high of $0.7376 reached in May of that year and this caused Markus to face major financial losses.

앞서 보고된 바와 같이, 2021년 DOGE 가격은 그 해 5월에 도달한 사상 최고치인 0.7376달러에서 약 90% 급락했고 이로 인해 Markus는 큰 재정적 손실을 입게 되었습니다.

Billy Markus sells some of his Ethereum

Billy Markus는 자신의 Ethereum 중 일부를 판매합니다.

Markus is an active X app user, who now has 2.1 million followers and is using the Subscription feature on the X platform integrated by Elon Musk, which allows content creators to charge a monthly fee from subscribers for additional content. Besides, Markus also uses the Monetization feature that entitles him to a share of X app’s profits from advertising.

Markus는 현재 210만 명의 팔로어를 보유하고 있는 활동적인 X 앱 사용자이며 Elon Musk가 통합한 X 플랫폼의 구독 기능을 사용하고 있습니다. 이를 통해 콘텐츠 제작자는 추가 콘텐츠에 대해 구독자에게 월별 요금을 청구할 수 있습니다. 게다가 Markus는 X 앱의 광고 수익을 공유할 수 있는 수익 창출 기능도 사용합니다.

At the start of this year, Markus even was forced to sell some of his Ethereum to pay the taxes for 2022. In an ironic twist of fate, the second largest crypto went up right after that sale, so Markus sold his ETH for a much less fiat amount than he could have.

In one of his recent posts on X, he revealed that he likes Bitcoin and Ethereum as assets and hates all ERC-20 tokens. He quit his DOGE project several months after it was launched in 2013 and since then has not been investing in crypto, apart from buying some Ether. He has never mentioned holding Bitcoin or other crypto in his tweets.

X에 대한 최근 게시물 중 하나에서 그는 비트코인과 이더리움을 자산으로 좋아하고 모든 ERC-20 토큰을 싫어한다고 밝혔습니다. 그는 2013년에 DOGE 프로젝트가 시작된 지 몇 달 후 그만뒀고 그 이후로 Ether를 구입하는 것 외에는 암호화폐에 투자하지 않았습니다. 그는 자신의 트윗에서 비트코인이나 다른 암호화폐를 보유한다고 언급한 적이 없습니다.

Despite his fame and influence within the crypto community, Markus prefers to avoid publicity and communicate to crypto fans only on social media.

암호화폐 커뮤니티 내에서의 명성과 영향력에도 불구하고 Markus는 홍보를 피하고 소셜 미디어를 통해서만 암호화폐 팬들과 소통하는 것을 선호합니다.

no one in public has recognized me, fortunately i would honestly hate that
