Billy Markus, who created the iconic meme cryptocurrency, Dogecoin, in collaboration with Jackson Palmer in 2013, and who is known on the X platform as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, has addressed his 2.1 million army of X followers with a tweet that debunked the popular way of getting wealthy.

This “fool-proof” method is called a lottery, and Markus shared the outcome of his attempts to win a fortune on his X profile.

"Game of chance fails to work for DOGE creator"

Billy Markus shared his take on the lottery, “a game of chance,” as a popular way to grow one’s wealth or just make some easy money. In his tweet, Markus said that he “tried so hard,” but in the end, he had no stroke of luck.

It seems that Shibetoshi Nakamoto treats cryptocurrencies as a lottery as well. In his numerous tweets over the past few years, he likened crypto trading and crypto investing to a mental disease. Whenever he commented on Bitcoin going up or down, he stated that nobody can really predict for sure which way BTC or any other crypto will go – up or down.

In a tweet published earlier this week, Markus shared a screenshot of an article published by CoinDesk, which stated that the Bitcoin price was going down because traders were taking profits. He accompanied that tweet with a comment, ironically asking his followers if they were indeed taking profits.
