This man created dogecoin then sold everything for $10K before it went to BILLIONS 🤯


Billy Markus was one of the creators of Dogecoin back in 2013
It wasn’t even meant to be serious, it’s a fun memecoin based on the doge meme. Fast forward to 2015, crypto was basically dead and he had lost his job
So he decided to sell everything, around 6M DOGE, 50 BTC, 400+ LTC and some other coins, all in one go and it only came out to about $10K
Basically enough for a used Honda Civic, he mostly used it to pay rent and stepped away from crypto completely
Back then DOGE was worth almost nothing and nobody really believed in it longterm, plus he wasn’t even enjoying the space anymore
Then years later, Dogecoin pumped massively, memes, hype, Elon Musk, everything, at some point the value of what he sold could’ve been worth MILLIONS
Even tens of millions depending on timing, but he’s said he doesn’t really regret it, for him it was never about getting rich, only building something fun
Now he barely holds any crypto, just small amounts from tips over time, and mostly stays out of it
Kind of crazy how the creator of one of the biggest coins sold everything for $10K 💀
DOGE3,92%
BTC3,79%
