The founder of Dogecoin (DOGE) is issuing a warning against trading memecoin and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as he even calls the crypto space “dumb” than it was a decade ago.
In a new thread, DOGE creator Billy Markus, known on Twitter as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, confirms again that Dogecoin started as a prank to fool the crypto scene, which he says has gotten even worse.
“DOGE was created 10 years ago to mock how stupid the scene was at the time. It’s even dumber now, and people just play poker against each other and try to outdo each other. It doesn’t bother me, that’s just all. Please, please stop bothering me.’
Markus says he is tired of being harassed about Dogecoin, an asset he founded more than a decade ago but has nothing to do with anymore. He adds that the room is home to some “worthless, cruel people.”
“Q: Do you represent DOGE? A: No
Q: Do you have any professional involvement with DOGE? A: No. I haven’t touched it in 10 years.
Q: Are you jealous of the success of other coins and tokens? A: I literally don’t care, I just don’t like being harassed and attacked for influence…
It’s just stupid because it’s not my project, I just founded it 10 years ago. There are so many ridiculous stories about it, it was ‘rough’, blah blah. This room is full of so many really crappy cruel people. At least there are good ones.”
Additionally, when asked if he would rather invest in memecoins or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) if he tried to convert $1,000 into $100,000, Markus replied replied with “neither.”
Dogecoin is trading at $0.08 at the time of writing, down 2.9% in the past 24 hours.
