Billy Markus, known on social media as <a href="https://u.today/dogecoin-founder-trolls-bitcoin-btc-bulls-after-big-fed-rate-cut">Shibetoshi Nakamoto</a> (a playful reference to the Bitcoin creator’s pseudonym), who created the iconic meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin, has taken to the X platform to make it clear that he has no intention to work on any other crypto project ever.
He also revealed the very first coin he had worked on before making DOGE and slammed Ethereum-based coins, whose creators claim they were made in 2013.
<h2 id="i-will-never-create-any-cryptocurrency-again-billy-markus">"I will never create any cryptocurrency" again: Billy Markus</h2>
Earlier today, Markus posted a tweet to clarify his participation in the making of <a href="https://u.today/dogecoin-doge-skyrockets-1757-in-bullish-whale-activity">Dogecoin</a> (and another crypto currency that failed) and make sure the community understand that he does not have any plans to build a new cryptocurrency ever again - especially a meme coin.
<blockquote>
 just going to reiterate that i have not created any cryptocurrency except dogecoin in 2013 (and bells before that), have not worked on any cryptocurrency since 2014, and will never create or work on any cryptocurrency since those twoanything claiming i am affiliated is lying— Shibetoshi Nakamoto (@BillyM2k) <a href="https://twitter.com/BillyM2k/status/1838845285633777796?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 25, 2024</a>
</blockquote> 
Shibetoshi Nakamoto also clarified that he had only created two coins in his life – Dogecoin, and Bells before that. He underscored that since 2013, when DOGE was launched and he along with the other founder, Jackson Palmer, stepped down from the project, he has not been part of any cryptocurrency.
<blockquote>
 i wouldn’t create another meme coin— Shibetoshi Nakamoto (@BillyM2k) <a href="https://twitter.com/BillyM2k/status/1838854190237376879?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 25, 2024</a>
</blockquote> 
Markus made it clear that he “will never create or work on any cryptocurrency since those two.” He added that any crypto project that claims that he is affiliated with it is deceiving the crypto community.

As for the Bells token he mentioned briefly, Markus provided more details in the comments, answering an X user. Markus said that he made a code for the Bells coin before he offered Palmer to work on DOGE together.
The current Bells project, he stated, runs on Ethereum, and it is very different coin from what he initially made: “Keep in mind that the current bells token was completely resurrected, the old blockchain was wiped out and a new one was started by others.”
“The new one isn’t my project, it was just based on code i made 11 years ago,” he stressed.
<blockquote>
 no, that’s an ethereum token, i didn’t make it ethereum didn’t exist in 2013i made a scrypt coin that failed instantly in 2013, which was resurrected by other people last year— Shibetoshi Nakamoto (@BillyM2k) <a href="https://twitter.com/BillyM2k/status/1838848799135142234?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 25, 2024</a>
</blockquote> 
Markus pointed out that while, these days, some Ethereum-based token creators claim they launched their crypto in 2013, that “is a very obvious lie, ethereum wasn’t even made until 2015.”
While addressing a question as to whether it was him who created Bitcoin, Markus responded sarcastically, "Yes and i created the internet and oxygen."
