IT developer Billy Markus, who created and launched the largest meme cryptocurrency by market capitalization value Dogecoin in cooperation with Jackson Palmer in 2013, has surprised the crypto community by revealing how much Bitcoin he owns, and how much BTC needs to rise to make Markus a millionaire.

2013년 Jackson Palmer와 협력하여 시가총액 기준 최대 규모의 밈 암호화폐인 Dogecoin을 만들고 출시한 IT 개발자 Billy Markus는 자신이 얼마나 많은 비트코인을 소유하고 있는지, 그리고 Markus를 다음과 같은 수준으로 만들기 위해 BTC가 얼마나 상승해야 하는지 밝혀 암호화폐 커뮤니티를 놀라게 했습니다. 백만 장자.

DOGE founder’s BTC stash unveiled

Markus has tweeted that he holds 0.0006 BTC in his crypto stash, and so in order to become a millionaire, he says: “all I need is for it to go to 166.6 million each.”

Still, Markus is known for his frequent ironic and sarcastic posts on the Twitter/X platform, so this “Bitcoin stash revelation” may be far from how much he really owns. One of the basic security rules for a crypto holder is not to brag about one’s crypto holdings on social media so as to avoid losing both one's crypto and one's life.

Still, one thing is certain, Markus likely holds Bitcoin. In one of his tweets recently, he admitted that among the variety of cryptocurrencies, he likes Bitcoin and Ethereum, while he dislikes all tokens based on Ethereum’s ERC-20 token standard.

그럼에도 불구하고 한 가지 확실한 점은 마커스가 비트코인을 보유하고 있을 가능성이 높다는 것입니다. 최근 그의 트윗 중 하나에서 그는 다양한 암호화폐 중에서 비트코인과 이더리움을 좋아하지만 이더리움의 ERC-20 토큰 표준을 기반으로 하는 모든 토큰을 싫어한다고 인정했습니다.

In January, he was driven to sell part of his ETH stash at a loss in order to pay taxes for 2022. He did not specify how much Ethereum he sold but, notably, the Ethereum price went up right after Billy Markus sold his ETH. Had he made that sale a little later, his profit may have been higher.

In a comment to his own tweet, while answering an X user, Markus ironically agreed that before this year ends, the Bitcoin price may skyrocket to allow him turn into a millionaire.

자신의 트윗에 대한 댓글에서 Markus는 X 사용자에게 답변하면서 아이러니하게도 올해가 끝나기 전에 비트코인 ​​가격이 급등하여 백만장자가 될 수 있다는 데 동의했습니다.

Main reason for BTC surge given by Pompliano

Pompliano가 제시한 BTC 급등의 주요 이유

Prominent investor and Bitcoin advocate Anthony Pompliano (known simply as “Pomp”) has shared what he believes to be the major reason for the current rapid Bitcoin increase.

Pomp reckons that this is basically Bitcoin demand shock meets BTC supply shock - “There is way more demand for bitcoin than the amount available for purchase.”

There is way more demand for bitcoin than the amount available for purchase.Buyers have to bid higher and higher to convince holders to part with their bitcoin. This is why the price is rapidly rising.

구매할 수 있는 금액보다 비트코인에 대한 수요가 훨씬 더 많습니다. 구매자는 보유자가 비트코인을 포기하도록 설득하기 위해 점점 더 높은 입찰가를 제시해야 합니다. 가격이 빠르게 오르는 이유다.

Institutional buyers now have to offer higher bids for BTC to persuade holders to sell their Bitcoin. Therefore, the price is going up quite rapidly, per Pomp’s tweet.

이제 기관 구매자는 보유자가 비트코인을 판매하도록 설득하기 위해 BTC에 대해 더 높은 입찰가를 제시해야 합니다. 따라서 Pomp의 트윗에 따르면 가격은 매우 빠르게 상승하고 있습니다.
