Billy Markus, who runs a Twitter handle named Shibetoshi Nakamoto, has told that he has earned only $ 3,000 (about Rs 2.26 lakh) by developing Dogecoin. He has also admitted that the talk of earning so little stings him very much. He used the word ‘salty’ (salty) to explain this.
people always call me out for being salty
of course i’m salty! i made like 3 grand total directly from making a crypto that had a market cap of 80 billion dollars

Marcus wrote in the tweet (translated), “People always call me Salty. Of course I am Salty! I made $3,000 from creating a cryptocurrency with a market cap of $80 billion.” He further wrote, “Watching scammers is worth millions of people all day. [पैसे] + Strangers attack me all day, who wouldn’t be salty.”
After earning $3,000 to create DodgeCoin, a Twitter user wrote that $3,000 was enough for his modest coding. Marcus disagreed on this written“You are not wrong, but still, by me in this [प्रोजेक्ट पर] Given the total actual hours put in (beyond the initial build) this is probably less than the minimum wage.”
In 2015, Marcus sold his coins to pay rent. At the same time, Dogecoin’s other co-creator, Jackson Palmer, also decided to withdraw from the project. Marcus also later decided to leave the project. In response to a question from a Twitter user, Marcus admitted that he was disappointed at the decision to sell all the coins in 2015.
Recently, Marcus criticized the creators of Shiba Inu by pointing out that they make “vague promises” to attract investors to the project. As reported by Cryptopotato, Shiba Inu criticized Shiba Inu’s new Metaverse project from Ethereum as a “random metaverse” and “selling fake land” and said he would be angry with the project if he were a SHIB holder.
