Opinions matter in the broader digital currency ecosystem. Dogecoin (DOGE) cofounder Billy Markus shared a strong opinion about crypto conferences on X. Known on social media as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, Markus demanded that crypto conferences be banned forever.
Vitalik Buterin inspired call
Billy Markus is known for his comical posts, strong commentaries and a hard-to-predict personality online. The call for the crypto conference ban directly responded to Vitalik Buterin's presentation at the ongoing Token2049 Conference.

The Dogecoin founder is well-followed in the digital currency ecosystem and a known fan of Elon Musk. As reported earlier by U.Today, Markus has commended Elon Musk and his company, Neuralink, over the landmark breakthrough of Blindsight.
The Blindsight device has the U.S. FDA’s approval and will contribute to restoring eyesight to the blind. While this has no direct link to crypto, Elon Musk is considered a major advocate for the Dogecoin that Markus co-created.
Dogecoin founder's digital footprint
Billy Markus has one of the industry's most prolific digital footprints. Earlier in August, he commented on BTC's price recovery.

Like Billy Markus, the industry has come to recognize personalities helping to keep the broader crypto ecosystem together. Michael Saylor, Chairman of MicroStrategy, is one of such individual. Besides his firm’s consistent purchasing of Bitcoin, Saylor has evolved as the biggest advocate for the digital currency.
