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.

比利馬庫斯(Billy Markus) 於2013 年與傑克遜帕爾默(Jackson Palmer) 一起創建了最初的模因加密貨幣狗狗幣(Dogecoin)，他在X 平台（以前稱為Twitter）上對一篇有關其截至2023 年淨資產的媒體文章發表了評論。

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.

馬庫斯（在 X 應用程式上被稱為 Shibetoshi Nakamoto）以其典型的諷刺方式批評了該出版物，並表示他的實際淨資產遠低於未公開媒體提到的數字。

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

馬庫斯真的有 500 萬美元嗎？這是他的評論

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”.

Techiegamers 發表的文章稱，截至今年，馬庫斯的身價為 500 萬美元，馬庫斯對此發表評論稱，如果他確實擁有這 500 萬美元，他將「對金錢更加冷靜」。

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”.

比利馬庫斯透露，與文章所說的相反，他的身家遠低於 100 萬美元，並開玩笑地補充說，他「對賺錢有很大的興趣」。

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.

根據馬庫斯之前的推文，他熱愛自己的工作，這可能與軟體工程有關，他不會用它來換取為埃隆馬斯克工作的X 應用程式團隊中的職位，儘管事實上他們兩個關係很好。術語，主要透過推文進行交流。

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.

正如先前報導的那樣，2021 年，DOGE 價格從當年 5 月達到的歷史高點 0.7376 美元暴跌約 90%，這導致 Markus 面臨重大財務損失。

Billy Markus sells some of his Ethereum

比利馬庫斯出售了他的一些以太坊

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.

Markus 是 X 應用程式的活躍用戶，目前擁有 210 萬追蹤者，並且正在使用伊隆馬斯克整合的 X 平台上的訂閱功能，該功能允許內容創作者向訂閱者收取額外內容的月費。此外，Markus 還使用貨幣化功能，使他有權分享 X 應用程式的廣告利潤。

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.

今年年初，馬庫斯甚至被迫出售部分以太幣來繳納2022 年的稅款。命運的諷刺是，第二大加密貨幣在出售之後立即上漲，因此馬庫斯以高得多的價格出售了他的以太坊。比他能擁有的法定金額少。

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.

在他最近在 X 上發布的一篇貼文中，他透露他喜歡比特幣和以太坊作為資產，討厭所有 ERC-20 代幣。他在 2013 年推出 DOGE 項目幾個月後就退出了該項目，從那時起，除了購買一些以太幣之外，他沒有再投資加密貨幣。他從未在推文中提到持有比特幣或其他加密貨幣。

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

儘管馬庫斯在加密貨幣社群中享有盛譽和影響力，但他更喜歡避免公開宣傳，只在社群媒體上與加密貨幣粉絲進行交流。

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

公共場合沒有人認出我，幸運的是我真的很討厭這樣
