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.

根据马库斯之前的推文，他热爱自己的工作，这可能与软件工程有关，他不会用它来换取为埃隆·马斯克工作的 X 应用程序团队中的职位，尽管事实上他们两个关系很好。术语，主要通过推文进行交流。

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.

正如之前报道的那样，2021 年，DOGE 价格从当年 5 月达到的历史高点 0.7376 美元暴跌约 90%，这导致 Markus 面临重大财务损失。

Billy Markus sells some of his Ethereum

比利·马库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 应用程序的活跃用户，目前拥有 210 万关注者，并且正在使用埃隆·马斯克集成的 X 平台上的订阅功能，该功能允许内容创作者向订阅者收取额外内容的月费。此外，Markus 还使用货币化功能，使他有权分享 X 应用程序的广告利润。

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，马库斯甚至被迫出售部分以太坊来缴纳 2022 年的税款。命运的讽刺是，第二大加密货币在出售之后立即上涨，因此马库斯以高得多的价格出售了他的以太坊。比他能拥有的法定金额要少。

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 上发布的一篇帖子中，他透露他喜欢比特币和以太坊作为资产，讨厌所有 ERC-20 代币。他在 2013 年推出 DOGE 项目几个月后就退出了该项目，从那时起，除了购买一些以太币之外，他就没有再投资加密货币。他从未在推文中提到持有比特币或其他加密货币。

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

尽管马库斯在加密货币社区中享有盛誉和影响力，但他更喜欢避免公开宣传，只在社交媒体上与加密货币粉丝进行交流。

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

公共场合没有人认出我，幸运的是我真的很讨厌这样
