Billy Markus, who back in 2013 launched the popular meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin together with Jackson Palmer, is now an active user of the X social media platform (which used to be known as Twitter) and has become an influencer for his 2.1 million followers.

2013년에 Jackson Palmer와 함께 인기 있는 밈 암호화폐 Dogecoin을 출시한 Billy Markus는 이제 X 소셜 미디어 플랫폼(Twitter로 알려짐)의 적극적인 사용자이며 210만 명의 팔로워에게 영향력을 행사하는 사람이 되었습니다.

Markus offers comments on various topics, from crypto to politics. In today’s tweet, he shared his take on the new video advert of Coinbase published on YouTube. He also dropped an opinion, perhaps unexpected for some crypto community members, about crypto failing to live up to the goal that was set for it.

New Coinbase advert complimented by DOGE co-founder

Markus called the new Coinbase advert “Break the Cycle” “interesting,” adding that this video explains why many people are choosing crypto, especially recently. He says: “The system is failing for them and they look for alternatives.”

Markus added that this advert depicts the anti-crypto senator Elizabeth Warren and politicians like her who are also trying to crash crypto from changing the U.S. and the global financial system as “the enemies of the people.”

Markus는 이 광고가 미국과 글로벌 금융 시스템을 변화시키기 위해 암호화폐를 붕괴시키려는 암호화폐 반대 상원의원인 Elizabeth Warren과 그녀와 같은 정치인들을 "국민의 적"으로 묘사하고 있다고 덧붙였습니다.

Crypto failed to live up to goal set for it, Markus believes

Billy Markus also shared his take on why crypto was created in the first place and whether it has succeeded in reaching that goal. He reminded the community that crypto was first made (implying Bitcoin) as a “direct response to the financial crisis of 2007 and all the corruption that led up to it.”

it’s also why crypto was made in the first place - a direct response to the financial crisis of 2007 and all the corruption that lead up to it whether it has lived up to its promise is up for debate (not really imo), but it’s not like our system is serving its citizens well…

However, Markus reckons that neither Bitcoin nor crypto in general has managed to “live up to its promise,” although he admitted that it is “up for debate.”

그러나 Markus는 비트코인이나 암호화폐가 "논쟁의 여지가 있다"고 인정했지만 일반적으로 "약속을 지키지 못했다"고 생각합니다.
