Yet another feat by the Dogecoin co-founder marks the difference between DOGE and Dogechain. Markus has been given a sizable sum of cryptocurrency in exchange for convincing the DOGE army that Dogechain is beneficial to DOGE. The co-founder of DOGE rejects a lucrative offer.
The original co-founder of the meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin, Billy Markus, and Jackson Palmer, a fellow IT programmer, turned down an offer to tweet about and promote Dogechain in exchange for 10 billion DC, or an astounding $14 million USD, according to Twitter user @RepeatAfterVee.
Dogecoin co-founder earns the respect
Billy Markus, he claimed, deserves the “deepest respect” from the DOGE army because he refused to betray the DOGE community in exchange for this huge sum of money.
Markus responded to it in a sarcastic tweet by stating that he did not become wealthy from the creation of Dogecoin and that he is frequently accused of “orchestrating pumps and dumps” with DOGE.
Notably, Markus left the Dogecoin project not long after it began. He is still active on Twitter, though, and frequently tweets about his invention and the crypto industry as a whole. He recently acknowledged that he has no plans to restart DOGE development or produce a new digital currency.
“Yeah, no one really cares anyway and just assumes I got rich from creating dogecoin or orchestrating pump and dumps or whatever other things I constantly get accused of.”
Dogechain has established itself as a layer-2 protocol for Dogecoin. The chain reportedly went live this month and has gained notoriety among cryptocurrency enthusiasts. However, Dogechain’s base foundation is not DOGE.
Polygon Edge was discovered to have been utilized to build the smart contract network. This is a one-of-a-kind Ethereum sidechain powered by Polygon network blockchain software.
Despite DOGE’s involvement, the DOGE Foundation stated that it has nothing to do with the Dogechain.
