Markus replied that he didn’t protect the DOGE community from anything since everyone has the free will to decide and do whatever pleases them.

Markus is a known crypto cynic. Dogecoin was created to mock the entire crypto industry.

Dogecoin co creator further stated that most crypto investors only gamble with their money.

Markus further said he chose not to encourage anyone to take an action that doesn’t sit right with him.

Other co-founder of Dogecoin, Jackson Palmer, is also a known crypto cynic and had distanced himself from the project and crypto community.
