Dogecoin Founder Makes Crucial Bitcoin Statement as BTC Plummets

As a seasoned crypto investor with a good dose of skepticism and irony, I can’t help but chuckle at Shibetoshi Nakamoto’s latest tweet about Bitcoin. The man behind Dogecoin has a knack for delivering witty comments that make us question the true nature of the cryptocurrency market.


Co-founder of Dogecoin, Billy Markus (previously recognized on X social media as Shibetoshi Nakamoto), expressed his current perspective on Bitcoin in a recent post as its value dropped below the $60,000 mark for the second time in succession.

As a crypto enthusiast, I’ve always been intrigued by Shibetoshi Nakamoto’s unique perspective on our vibrant market. Today, he’s shedding light on the current state of Bitcoin with his signature blend of wit and wisdom. Let’s delve into his insights.

Billy Markus sums up Bitcoin plunge

As a researcher studying the cryptocurrency market, I cannot help but feel a sense of dismay upon witnessing Bitcoin’s significant decline. The co-founder of Dogecoin echoed this sentiment, exclaiming, “Bitcoin, I lament.”

As a financial analyst, I’ve observed that Bitcoin experienced a notable decline since last week, dropping approximately 8.4% from its peak of $63,630 to its current price around $58,500.

A new finding from Santiment’s latest report reveals that Bitcoin reached a two-month low today. This dip in price incited many traders to purchase, particularly when Bitcoin was close to $60,000. Concurrently, there has been an increase in long positions being liquidated for both Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana.

“Throwing money directly into raging fire”

Based on Billy Markus’ past comments, it appears that his tweet may have been a sarcastic or ironic statement regarding the current state of Bitcoin and crypto trading. Previously, he had expressed skepticism about the ability to predict market trends and price movements in crypto, including Bitcoin.

More recently, the DOGE founder expressed a thought-provoking analogy, likening investing in digital currencies to throwing money into a fiery blaze, according to Markus’ tweet. This perspective, he added, could make navigating the volatile crypto market more bearable.

As a researcher studying the cryptocurrency market, I’ve observed that Bitcoin has reached a 2-month low, while most altcoins have fared even worse. Recently, there was a surge in buying activity when Bitcoin approached $60K, leading to a significant number of long positions being established. However, over the last few hours, these long positions have been liquidated aggressively, affecting not only Bitcoin but also top cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and Solana.

Based on Markus’s tweets, he holds around 0.006 Bitcoins, and in a debate on X regarding the superiority of owning one Dogecoin versus one whole Bitcoin, Shibatoshi Nakamoto made an unexpected remark favoring one Bitcoin over one Dogecoin.
