Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer launched Dogecoin in 2013 as a light-hearted take on the seriousness of the cryptocurrency industry. Over the years, Dogecoin has developed a reputation as a positive force in the often murky world of cryptocurrency, a sentiment that lives on today through the Dogecoin Manifesto.
Dogecoin, the first memecoin, has established a unique niche that numerous imitators have attempted to replicate. But even now, Markus is amazed at how his creation grew into the phenomenon it is today.
Markus amazed by Dogecoin’s success
In a recent post, Markus said of Dogecoin’s evolution from a joke to a multibillion-dollar project, “It’s still crazy to me.”
Many people believe that such success comes from careful planning and strategic decision-making. However, Markus revealed that the entire production process took only two hours and “nothing was taken into consideration.”
Memecoin has gained notoriety for its high-risk, high-reward potential that can turn everyday investors into millionaires overnight.
Despite Dogecoin’s meteoric rise and its role in spawning numerous imitators, Markus hinted that his financial success is nowhere near what one would expect from the world’s greatest memecoin creator.
missed opportunity
In a 2021 Reddit post, Markus revealed that he stepped down from Dogecoin in 2015 after selling his entire cryptocurrency portfolio and losing his job. He used some of the proceeds to buy a used Honda Civic.
At the time, Dogecoin was rewriting the rules of investing, challenging the valuations of legacy blue chips like IBM and American Express, soaring to an astonishing $84.5 billion market capitalization, equivalent to the total economic output of Sri Lanka at the time.
In this post, Markus emphasized that true value lies in joy, kindness, empathy, and fun rather than the endless pursuit of wealth. It’s a sentiment that stands in sharp contrast to the giddiness surrounding the newfound wealth of early DOGE investors.
Fast forward to today, and Markus revealed that the cryptocurrency portfolio he liquidated in 2015 included “50 Bitcoin, 440 Litecoin, and 6 million Dogecoin.”
At current prices, that portfolio would now be worth about $4.1 million, adding a bittersweet twist to his story.
