Billy Markus, aka Shibetoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Dogecoin stated that he won’t work on any new cryptocurrency meme projects in the future.
Markus have had enough from crypto?
Markus clarified his role in creating Dogecoin and a previous failed crypto called Bells on X.
He shared that he has no plans to develop another cryptocurrency, especially not a meme coin.
Markus pointed out that he has only created two coins in his life, Dogecoin and Bells. Since launching Dogecoin in 2013 and stepping away from the project with co-founder Jackson Palmer, he hasn’t been involved in any other cryptocurrency ventures.
He also firmly stated that he will never create or work on any cryptocurrency since those two and warned that any projects claiming his involvement are misleading the community.
Bells didn’t ring?
Regarding the Bells token, Markus provided further details in response to an inquiry from a user on X, and he explained that he initially wrote code for Bells before collaborating with Palmer on Dogecoin.
The current version of the Bells project operates on Ethereum and is quite different from what he originally created.
He noted that the current Bells token was completely rebuilt, as the old blockchain was erased and a new one was started by others.
Markus stressed that while this new version is based on his original code from 11 years ago, it isn’t his project.
no, that’s an ethereum token, i didn’t make it
ethereum didn’t exist in 2013
i made a scrypt coin that failed instantly in 2013, which was resurrected by other people last year

Mystery solved, we finally know who is Satoshi
Markus also took a moment to address claims made by some Ethereum-based token creators who assert they launched their projects in 2013.
He called this an obvious lie, pointing out that Ethereum itself wasn’t even created until 2015.
When asked if he was the creator of Bitcoin, Markus humorously replied, “Yes and I created the internet and oxygen.”
