What’s new? Billy Marcus, co-founder and former developer of the meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin (DOGE), joked on his Twitter that bitcoin developers were behind writing most of the project’s code. The joke itself comes after Elon Musk accused another Dogecoin developer, Jackson Palmer, of not writing a single line of code for the blockchain.

How did events develop? In response to the billionaire’s tweet, Billy Markus wrote that the developers who worked on the project after him and Palmer did many times more. He also noted that he himself “wrote like 20 lines of code and copied the rest.”
the people after us did exponentially more than either jackson or i did on the code base i think i wrote like 20 lines of code and copied the rest 🤣— Shibetoshi Nakamoto (@BillyM2k) May 31, 2022
What is Dogecoin? Jackson Palmer and Billy Markus founded the project in 2013. It is a cryptocurrency with a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus algorithm, which was created as a joke based on the popular meme of the same name with a picture of a Shiba Inu dog. Dogecoin is based on a fork of the Bitcoin network, Litecoin, with high transaction speeds and low fees. As of June 1, 11:50 UTC, DOGE is trading at $0,086, according to Binance.
What happened before? Billy Markus criticized the recent launch of the Terra 2.0 (LUNA) blockchain following the collapse of the previous network. He stated that “LUNA 2.0 will show the world just how truly dumb crypto gamblers really are.”
Markus also suggested using DOGE as a tip. On Twitter, he tipped another user using a Twitter-based bot that allows sending rewards in Dogecoin.
