Dogecoin Founder Expects a Frenzy When Price Hits $1.69
In a recent social media post, Billy Markus, one of the creators of the popular meme-based cryptocurrency Dogecoin, discussed the potential for Dogecoin to reach new all-time highs.
However, Markus also highlighted the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies, acknowledging a subsequent sharp price decline. This perspective reflects Markus’s previous comments on the unpredictable nature of the crypto market, often conveyed in a humorous and ironic manner.
i dreamt that dogecoin went to $1.69 each and everyone was freaking out and i was like oh man maybe i can put a down payment on a house, and then it instantly crashed to $0.40 and i was like ah dang
then i woke up and it was at $0.169 and i had to go to work

Markus humorously recounted a dream in which Dogecoin surged to $1.69, causing excitement among investors, only to abruptly plummet to $0.40. Despite this, he reaffirmed his optimism about Dogecoin, likening it to other cryptocurrencies and defending it against criticism.
Markus has been vocal about crypto investment and trading, expressing skepticism about the predictability of price movements and cautioning against excessive speculation, particularly in newer forms such as ERC-20 tokens and NFTs. He disclosed holding a minimal amount of Bitcoin.
