In response to an infographic depicting the prominent holders of Bitcoin (BTC), Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus, known as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, contrasted his DOGE holdings with the reported BTC holdings of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.

为了回应一张描述比特币 (BTC) 重要持有者的信息图，狗狗币联合创始人比利·马库斯 (Billy Markus)（又名 Shibetoshi Nakamoto）将他持有的 DOGE 与比特币创造者中本聪 (Satoshi Nakamoto) 所报道的 BTC 持有量进行了对比。

According to the statistics, Satoshi currently possesses approximately 1.1 million BTC, valued at $66 billion. Markus asserts that this exceeds his DOGE holdings, implying that he owns less than $117,040 in the popular meme coin.

据统计，中本聪目前拥有约110万枚比特币，价值660亿美元。马库斯声称，这超过了他持有的 DOGE，这意味着他拥有的流行 meme 代币不到 117,040 美元。

A Regretful Decision

一个遗憾的决定

In 2015, when Jackson Palmer and Billy Markus were experiencing the unexpected surge in Dogecoin's popularity, it was difficult to foresee the financial decisions that would later torment one of its creators.

2015 年，当杰克逊·帕尔默 (Jackson Palmer) 和比利·马库斯 (Billy Markus) 经历了狗狗币人气的意外飙升时，很难预见后来会折磨其中一位创始人的财务决策。

Reflecting on his choice, Markus acknowledges that selling his DOGE holdings was not only his greatest regret but also, in his own words, "the stupidest thing" he had ever done.

反思自己的选择，马库斯承认，出售持有的 DOGE 股份不仅是他最大的遗憾，而且用他自己的话来说，也是他做过的“最愚蠢的事情”。

Facing unease with the evolving Dogecoin community and personal financial challenges, Markus made the decision to withdraw, receiving only $10,000 for what would later become a multi-million dollar asset.

面对不断发展的狗狗币社区和个人财务挑战的不安，马库斯决定退出，只收到 10,000 美元，但后来成为了数百万美元的资产。

From Expectations to Reality

从期望到现实

The sum was sufficient to purchase a Honda Civic, but it was eventually allocated to more pressing expenses such as rent payments. Markus' decision to sell was driven by a layoff and the need for financial stability. While securing employment provided some relief, his regret lingers.

这笔钱足以购买一辆本田思域，但最终被分配到更紧迫的支出，例如租金支付。马库斯做出出售决定是出于裁员和财务稳定的需要。虽然找到工作让他松了口气，但他的遗憾却挥之不去。

Markus' Legacy in Cryptocurrency

马库斯在加密货币领域的遗产

Despite distancing himself from Dogecoin, Markus maintains a substantial presence in the cryptocurrency industry. With over two million followers on X (formerly Twitter), his perspectives continue to hold influence in the market, regardless of his stated disengagement from active project involvement.

尽管与狗狗币保持距离，马库斯仍然在加密货币行业保持着重要地位。尽管他声称不再参与积极的项目，但他在 X（以前称为 Twitter）上拥有超过 200 万粉丝，他的观点继续在市场上具有影响力。
