Billy Markus, who created the legendary meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin together with Jackson Palmer and launched it in 2013, has revealed the details of how DOGE was created 10 years ago. But, more importantly, he exposed a big secret about Dogecoin that has allowed it to exist until now and will allow it to exist longer on the market.

比利馬庫斯(Billy Markus) 與傑克遜帕爾默(Jackson Palmer) 一起創建了傳奇的模因加密貨幣狗狗幣(Dogecoin)，並於2013 年推出，他透露了10 年前DOGE 的創建細節。但更重要的是，他揭露了關於狗狗幣的一個大秘密，這使得它能夠存在至今，並將讓它在市場上存在得更久。

Some believe that this “bug” gives Dogecoin a major advantage over Bitcoin as an actual replacement for cash.

有些人認為，這個「錯誤」使狗狗幣作為現金的實際替代品比比特幣具有重大優勢。

Here’s how Markus and Palmer created Dogecoin

以下是馬庫斯和帕爾默創建狗狗幣的方式

On Dec. 6, the 10th “birthday” of Dogecoin was celebrated, and Markus published an X post, sharing some details about how he created the very first meme cryptocurrency in the world.

12 月 6 日，狗狗幣迎來了第十個“生日”，Markus 發表了一篇 X 帖子，分享了一些關於他如何創建世界上第一個模因加密貨幣的細節。

Markus did not share all of the details, but from his tweet published on Dec. 6, 2013, 10 years ago, it is clear that it was Jackson Palmer who suggested the idea of creating Dogecoin, and Markus responded to his call as he found it interesting.

馬庫斯沒有透露所有細節，但從他10 年前2013 年12 月6 日發布的推文來看，很明顯是傑克遜·帕爾默提出了創建狗狗幣的想法，馬庫斯回應了他的呼籲，因為他發現很有趣。

10 years ago i saw a funny tweet about the idea of dogecoin and i decided to make it in a few hours, then a bunch of weird things happened and now the currency is worth 14 billion dollars for some reason https://t.co/2qEcAf5y8h

10 年前，我看到一條關於狗狗幣想法的有趣推文，我決定在幾個小時內製作它，然後發生了一堆奇怪的事情，現在出於某種原因，這種貨幣價值140 億美元https://t.co /2qEcAf5y8h

Markus responded, offered his services as a crypto developer and sent Palmer a link to the bitcointalk forum; that page contained the details of a coin that he had already made a code for – “Bells.”

馬庫斯做出了回應，提供了他作為加密貨幣開發人員的服務，並向帕爾默發送了一個到 bitcointalk 論壇的連結；該頁麵包含一枚硬幣的詳細信息，他已經為其編寫了代碼——“鈴鐺”。

Ultimately, Billy Markus created DOGE in just two hours, sitting at home, and then “a bunch of weird things happened and now the currency is worth 14 billion dollars for some reason.”

最終，比利·馬庫斯（Billy Markus）坐在家裡，僅用了兩個小時就創建了DOGE，然後「發生了一系列奇怪的事情，現在由於某種原因，該貨幣價值140 億美元。 」

Bug left in Dogecoin

狗狗幣中留下的錯誤

X account @reddit_lies, with slightly more than 300,000 followers, pointed out to Markus that Dogecoin contains a curious feature – “Dogecoin doesn't have an artificial limit on the number of coins that can be mined.” The user pointed out that it makes DOGE better than its predecessor, Bitcoin, with a fixed supply of 21 million in the sense that Dogecoin can actually replace regular fiat cash.

X 帳戶 @reddit_lies 擁有略多於 300,000 名追隨者，他向 Markus 指出狗狗幣有一個奇怪的功能——“狗狗幣對可開採的代幣數量沒有人為限制。”該用戶指出，這使得 DOGE 比其前身比特幣更好，固定供應量為 2,100 萬枚，從某種意義上說，狗狗幣實際上可以取代常規的法定現金。

Markus explained that he was aware of this feature and said that it was a “bug” that he and Palmer left there on purpose. They did not expect Dogecoin to be around for more than a year since they did not believe that people would be interested in this parody of Bitcoin and its code any longer than that.

馬庫斯解釋說，他知道這個功能，並說這是他和帕爾默故意留下的「錯誤」。他們預計狗狗幣不會存在超過一年，因為他們不相信人們會對比特幣及其代碼的這種模仿感興趣的時間超過一年。

yeah, that was a bug 🤣 but we left it in it was designed to die in about a year cuz i thought that was the max amount of time people would be amused by the joke, but a bug gave it a long tail if that bug was fixed, doge woulda died many years ago

是的，那是一個錯誤🤣，但我們把它留在了它的設計中，它會在大約一年內消失，因為我認為這是人們被這個笑話逗樂的最大時間，但是一個錯誤給了它一個長尾巴，如果這個錯誤已修復，總督會在很多年前去世

However, Markus admitted that the bug “gave it a long tail.” If they had fixed that issue, Markus said, “doge woulda died many years ago.”

然而，馬庫斯承認，這個錯誤「給了它一條長尾巴」。馬庫斯說，如果他們解決了這個問題，“總督很多年前就會去世了。”
