Billy Markus, the co-creator of
Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) made a revelation last month that he got rid of all his cryptocurrency holdings back in 2015 after being laid off from work. Markus sold his cryptocurrency holdings for about the same price as what a used Civic from
Honda Motor Co, Ltd (OTC:HNDAF) cost back in the day.
Fast forward to today and the cryptocurrency he helped create is soaring to lunar heights. Since the year began, the joke cryptocurrency has risen 1,165.58% spectacular gains considering even the apex cryptocurrency
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has only managed a 109.16% rise in the same period. Markus talked to Benzinga about the year he sold all his cryptocurrency, his views on the ongoing spike, the best use cases for Dogecoin, and shared some advice for investors.
