DOGE co-founder refuses to promote Dogechain for $14 million in crypto

Markus has been offered a hefty amount of crypto to convince the DOGE army that Dogechain is good for DOGE.

DOGE co-founder rejects a rich offer

Twitter user @RepeatAfterVee took to Twitter to spread the word that Billy Markus, an IT engineer who co-founded the original meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin with Jackson Palmer in 2013, has turned down an offer to tweet about Dogechain and promote it for the payment of 10 billion DC worth a staggering $14 million.

He wrote that Billy Markus refused to betray the DOGE community for this huge sum of money and is thus worthy of “the deepest respect” of the DOGE army.

⚠️ IMPORTANT!

Billy was offered to get 10B DC from Dogechain to promote their project.

That is, at today’s price, 14 MILLION DOLLARS.@BillyM2k To turn down so much money to avoid betraying your community is worthy of our deepest respect. pic.twitter.com/3YyAfXfA1X

Markus responded to that with an ironic tweet, making it clear that he didn’t get rich creating Dogecoin, mentioning that he is constantly being accused of making money from Dogecoin and “orchestrating pumps and dumps” with DOGE.

yeah, no one really cares anyway and just assumes I got rich making dogecoin or orchestrating pump and dumps or other things I keep getting accused of.

It is worth noting that Markus quit the Dogecoin project shortly after its launch. However, he remains active on Twitter, often commenting on his idea and the cryptosphere in general. Recently, he admitted that he has no intention of returning to DOGE development, nor does he plan to create a new digital currency.

Dogechain Warning Issued to the DOGE Army

Dogechain is a spin-off from the original top dog token, which is intended to act as a Layer 2 for DOGE, thus allowing Dogecoin users to enjoy NFTs and DeFi solutions and ensuring a full integration with Ethereum smart contracts.

Earlier today, the price of Dogechain (DC) exploded by an incredible 220%, reaching a new all-time high of $0.002694. But now some of these gains have been lost. The massive price increase came after the major US-based crypto exchange KuCoin spread the word about the listing of the token.

But earlier this year, at the end of July, the DOGE community issued a warning, announcing that Dogechain is worthless and not related to DOGE anyway. The tweet claimed that Dogechain creators are offering money to influencers to get them to “manipulate people into thinking it’s good for Dogecoin.”
