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·马库斯 (Billy Markus) 与杰克逊·帕尔默 (Jackson Palmer) 一起创建了传奇的模因加密货币狗狗币 (Dogecoin)，并于 2013 年推出，他透露了 10 年前 DOGE 的创建细节。但更重要的是，他揭露了关于狗狗币的一个大秘密，这使得它能够存在至今，并将让它在市场上存在得更久。

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

一些人认为，这个“错误”使狗狗币作为现金的实际替代品比比特币具有重大优势。

Here’s how Markus and Palmer created Dogecoin

以下是马库斯和帕尔默创建狗狗币的方式

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，狗狗币迎来了第十个“生日”，Markus 发表了一篇 X 帖子，分享了一些关于他如何创建世界上第一个模因加密货币的细节。

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.

马库斯没有透露所有细节，但从他 10 年前 2013 年 12 月 6 日发布的推文来看，很明显是杰克逊·帕尔默提出了创建狗狗币的想法，马库斯回应了他的呼吁，因为他发现很有趣。

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，我看到一条关于狗狗币想法的有趣推文，我决定在几个小时内制作它，然后发生了一堆奇怪的事情，现在出于某种原因，这种货币价值 140 亿美元 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.”

马库斯做出了回应，提供了他作为加密货币开发人员的服务，并向帕尔默发送了一个到 bitcointalk 论坛的链接；该页面包含一枚硬币的详细信息，他已经为其编写了代码——“铃铛”。

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.”

最终，比利·马库斯（Billy Markus）坐在家里，仅用了两个小时就创建了 DOGE，然后“发生了一系列奇怪的事情，现在由于某种原因，该货币价值 140 亿美元。”

Bug left in Dogecoin

狗狗币中留下的错误

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 帐户 @reddit_lies 拥有略多于 300,000 名关注者，他向 Markus 指出狗狗币有一个奇怪的功能——“狗狗币对可开采的代币数量没有人为限制。”该用户指出，这使得 DOGE 比其前身比特币更好，固定供应量为 2100 万枚，从某种意义上说，狗狗币实际上可以取代常规的法定现金。

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.

马库斯解释说，他知道这个功能，并说这是他和帕尔默故意留下的一个“错误”。他们预计狗狗币不会存在超过一年，因为他们不相信人们会对比特币及其代码的这种模仿感兴趣的时间超过一年。

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，那是一个错误🤣，但我们把它留在了它的设计中，它会在大约一年内消失，因为我认为这是人们被这个笑话逗乐的最大时间，但是一个错误给了它一个长尾巴，如果这个错误已修复，总督会在很多年前去世

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，马库斯承认，这个错误“给了它一条长尾巴”。马库斯说，如果他们解决了这个问题，“总督很多年前就会去世了。”
