Co-founder of Dogecoin (DOGE) responds to the latest Bitcoin (BTC) price forecast.
Dogecoin co-creator, Billy Markus, also known as “Shibetoshi Nakamoto” on Twitter, has made light of a Bitcoin prediction by Balaji Srinivasan, a former a16z partner and Coinbase CTO, that Bitcoin will be worth over a million dollars in 90 days. In response to Srinivasan’s tweet, Markus jokingly said “1 BTC = 1 BTC is a slogan stolen from the dogecoin community’s 1 DOGE = 1 DOGE unironically.” Markus was inspired to create Dogecoin by the Shiba Inu meme in 2013 as a parody of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. Elon Musk, a Dogecoin supporter and Twitter CEO, previously hinted that crypto may be the future currency of the world, saying in 2021 that “the most entertaining outcome, the most ironic outcome, would be that Dogecoin becomes the currency of the Earth of the future.” Crypto analyst Ali reacted to Srinivasan’s prediction with skepticism, saying that over $18 trillion would need to be invested in Bitcoin to push it to $1 million within three months.
