- Dogecoin founder Billy Markus, known as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, downplayed Bitcoin’s surge toward $100,000 with a sarcastic comment on X.
- Despite his indifference, Bitcoin’s rising trading volume suggests strong investor interest in the leading cryptocurrency.
Dogecoin Founder’s Ironic Response
Billy Markus, the co-founder of Dogecoin (DOGE) known on X as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, has once again stirred the crypto community with his characteristic sarcasm. As Bitcoin (BTC) edges toward the significant $100,000 mark, Markus took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his thoughts. In his usual style, he commented, “Yay it got to 100k again, woo,” downplaying the milestone with a touch of irony.
Markus’ response suggests a sense of indifference toward Bitcoin’s remarkable price action, implying that BTC’s return to $100,000 is nothing special. Given his history of sarcastic takes on the crypto industry, this comment is no surprise.
Bitcoin Eyes $100,000 Amid Investor Frenzy
Despite Markus’ nonchalant remark, Bitcoin’s performance has been anything but ordinary. The digital currency is trading at $99,581.59, up 2.73% in the last 24 hours. Investors have shown heightened interest, pushing trading volume by 61.73% to $52.75 billion.
Bitcoin’s surge comes after a period of volatility, with the asset struggling below $100,000 since its all-time high (ATH) of $109,114.88 in January. This latest price movement has reignited hopes for a sustained bullish run.
Will Bitcoin Maintain Momentum?
As Bitcoin approaches the critical $100,000 level, market watchers are eager to see if it can maintain the upward momentum. For some, like crypto advocate Max Keiser, BTC’s potential is far beyond $100,000, predicting a future price of half a million dollars.
Whether Bitcoin maintains this rally or faces another correction remains to be seen. But for now, the spotlight is on the flagship cryptocurrency, and Markus’ sarcastic comment has once again highlighted the contrasting sentiments within the crypto community.
