Dogecoin Founder Declares He Will Never Create Another (Meme) Cryptocurrency

Billy Markus, known as Shibetoshi Nakamoto on social media, has publicly stated that he has no intention of developing any other cryptocurrency, including meme coins, following his creation of Dogecoin (DOGE). In a recent post on the X platform, Markus clarified his involvement in the crypto space, asserting, “I will never create any cryptocurrency” again.

"I Will Never Create Any Cryptocurrency" Again: Billy Markus
In his tweet, Markus aimed to clarify his contributions to Dogecoin and previous projects, asserting that he has not participated in any cryptocurrency since 2014. He tweeted:
“I have not created any cryptocurrency except Dogecoin in 2013 (and Bells before that), have not worked on any cryptocurrency since 2014, and will never create or work on any cryptocurrency since those two.”

Markus further emphasized that any project claiming affiliation with him is misleading. He reiterated, “I wouldn’t create another meme coin.”

The Bells Coin by Dogecoin Creator

Regarding the Bells coin he referenced, Markus explained that he created its initial code before collaborating with Jackson Palmer on Dogecoin. He noted that the current Bells project operates on Ethereum and is distinct from his original creation:
“Keep in mind that the current Bells token was completely resurrected; the old blockchain was wiped out and a new one was started by others.”

He clarified, “The new one isn’t my project; it was just based on the code I made 11 years ago.”

Markus also criticized some creators of Ethereum-based tokens who claim to have launched their projects in 2013, stating, “That is a very obvious lie; Ethereum wasn’t even made until 2015.”

When humorously questioned if he was the creator of Bitcoin, Markus replied, “Yes, and I created the internet and oxygen.”
