Dogecoin (DOGE) co-founder Billy Markus, also known as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, has revealed his largest regret involving the sale of all his DOGE in 2015.
Events of 2015
In 2015, Billy Markus decided to step back from the Dogecoin community because he wasn't comfortable with the changes in the community. During this period, he sold all his cryptocurrency assets, including Dogecoin, due to financial concerns.
Leaving the Project
Markus made this decision as he was laid off at the time and was facing dwindling savings. The amount he received from selling his crypto holdings was just enough to buy a used Honda Civic. Since then, Markus has not owned any Dogecoin, except for a few he recently sold.
Current Situation
Despite leaving the project, Markus remains a significant figure in the cryptocurrency world. He still has over two million followers on X (formerly Twitter), underlining his influence within the crypto community. However, he has consistently stated that he doesn't participate in any cryptocurrency projects these days.
Billy Markus's story highlights the difficulty of timing the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies and serves as a reminder of the market's unpredictability.
