Dogecoin’s Wild Origin Story! 😲

Now, see here. This here Billy Markus, the feller who, along with Jackson Palmer, cooked up that Dogecoin contraption – a digital doddle, if you will – he done had a bit of a dust-up with a rascal on that X platform. Seems someone was makin’ light of how Dogecoin came to be way back yonder in 2013. A right pickle, wouldn’t you say? 🧐

Markus, known ’round these parts as Shibetoshi Nakamoto (fancy name for a feller who made a meme coin, if you ask me), and this impudent scoundrel both pointed back to that picture show, “The Social Network,” based on a book called “The Accidental Billionaires.” Fancy that!

“TheDogecoin” and a Facebook Fable

So, Markus threw out a proposition – “Let’s all spin a yarn ’bout ourselves,” he said. And this fella, @KellyKulikoff, piped up claimin’ he witnessed the whole shebang! Said Markus had the notion to call the thing “TheDogecoin,” bless his heart, but he advised him to drop the “The” altogether. Now, isn’t that a hoot? Sounds mighty familiar, don’t it?

Reminds a body of that Zuckerberg feller and Sean Parker in “The Social Network.” Parker, that sly dog, told Zuckerberg to just call his thing “Facebook,” not “The Facebook.” A simple change, but apparently mighty important! 🤷

i remember this thank you

Markus, he wasn’t complainin’, mind you. He just up and responded with a little movin’ picture from that very same movie, added a “I remember this thank you.” A man of few words, that Markus.

Markus Predicts, or Perhaps Jests, About a Crypto Collapse

Now, just a week ago, this Markus fellow, who seems to make a livin’ out of pokin’ fun at crypto folks, let out a warnin’ about a possible crash. Now, Bitcoin had just shot up to $120,000 – a downright whoppin’ sum, I tell ya! – and he was predictin’… well, somethin’.

He seems to think this market behaves like a runaway steamboat, nothin’ to do with fancy economics. Said he warned folks *not* to look at the Zillow web page, lest it bring the whole crypto house down! Can you believe that? 🤣

Some eggheads reckon real estate and crypto act like see-saws – one goes up when the other goes down. Seems nobody knows a thing for certain!
