As a seasoned crypto investor who has witnessed the rise and fall of numerous digital assets, I find Billy Markus’s decision to step away from creating new cryptocurrencies intriguing. Having closely followed his journey since the creation of Dogecoin, it’s fascinating to see him reiterate his commitment to only one project.
Billy Markus, one of the creators of Dogecoin, has stated unequivocally that he won’t be involved in any future cryptocurrency projects. This revelation was made public today. Prior to his work on Dogecoin, Billy had also been part of another crypto project.
In his recent statement, Billy (alias Shibetoshi Nakamoto on platform X) made it clear that he has not been involved with any cryptocurrency initiatives since the year 2014. Prior to the launch of Dogecoin in 2013, he was responsible for creating just one crypto project called Bells, but unfortunately, this endeavor didn’t succeed.
I’d like to clarify that I only developed Dogecoin in 2013 (and Bell coins prior to that). After 2014, I haven’t contributed to any cryptocurrency projects. Furthermore, you won’t see me creating or working on any new cryptocurrencies from then on.
anything claiming i am affiliated is lying

His choice to abstain from initiating a new cryptocurrency venture sparked numerous comments from some of his supporters. One user suggested that, should Billy decide to develop another meme-based coin, they inquired about the potential name. However, Billy openly stated that he had no intentions of creating another meme coin.
Billy also responded to questions about the possibility of MDOGE being accepted as payment on Mars in the future, just like how DOGE has already been used as a form of payment here on Earth. Due to their high gas fees, the software engineer replied that he did not believe Ethereum tokens are useful for payment. He remarked that these tokens are merely used to gamble, the same as the Solana token.
As a seasoned crypto investor, I find myself increasingly disheartened by the scarcity of promising cryptocurrency projects currently available in the market. It’s becoming less enticing to commit to substantial investments given the current landscape.
Clarifications on Past Projects and Potential Market Impact
In simpler terms, the person who helped create Dogecoin made it clear that any project claiming he’s involved is not true. When asked about certain topics in a post, he provided additional information regarding a previous project called Bells coin. Billy Markus mentioned that he wrote the code for the Bells coin initially but later moved on to focus on Dogecoin, which he developed alongside Jackson Palmer.
He clarified that the current Bells project operates on Ethereum and is entirely different from the one he created. According to him, the original Bells were wholly wiped out. However, the new one is based on the original code from 11 years ago. He stated:
Remember that the present form of Bell’s token is a fresh start, replacing the previous blockchain entirely. This reborn version isn’t my original project, but rather a new development that builds upon the code I created more than a decade ago.
Billy mentioned the year when Ethereum first came into existence. He pointed out that any claim suggesting an Ethereum token was developed in 2013 is false, since Ethereum wasn’t actually created until 2015.
In essence, Markus halting his work on new cryptocurrency initiatives could foster a more pessimistic outlook towards cryptocurrencies. His remarks suggesting that numerous projects are devoid of value might amplify negative opinions about the crypto market, which may serve to deter potential new investors and developers from venturing into this sphere.
