In the world of cryptocurrency, Dogecoin has captured significant attention and even inspired the development of numerous other coins with animal themes. Despite starting out as a playful and humorous concept, these meme-based cryptocurrencies have surprisingly gained widespread popularity in recent times.
In the initial phases of Dogecoin’s existence, those who got involved early and invested experienced substantial profits, leading to remarkable financial achievements for certain individuals. Billy Markus, also known as Shibetoshi Nakamoto and a co-founder of Dogecoin, recently took to Twitter to provide insights into his earnings in relation to creating Dogecoin.

Dogecoin co-founder states that the SEC would have lost
Markus stated that he has made 5x more on Twitter than he made from creating DOGE. He also replied to a comment by a Twitter user who mentioned if Markus created DOGE now, he would get into trouble with the SEC.
The Dogecoin co-founder stated that in the event the SEC had filed a lawsuit against him and Jackson Palmer for creating Dogecoin during its initial launch in 2013, he believes the SEC’s success would have been unlikely. Markus attributes this belief to the prevailing emphasis on ethics at that time. He also perceives that people genuinely cared about ethical considerations.
