Dogecoin Co-founder Takes a Jab at Bitcoin Maxis’ Marketing Style
Billy Marcus, the former IBM software engineer who co-founded Dogecoin (DOGE) in 2013 has mocked the marketing style adopted by Bitcoin (BTC) enthusiasts.
Bitcoin Maxis downplays other cryptos
Attempting to describe how these Bitcoiners parade the leading cryptocurrency, Marcus cited a statement where a BTC maxi was promoting the token and inviting others to join what he referred to as a “mentally ill group of insecure losers.”
Bitcoin maxis or maximalists are pro-BTC enthusiasts who believe that the token is superior to any other asset in the highly diversified crypto ecosystem.
They move about with a better-than-thou attitude towards other tokens, referring to them as ‘s-coins’. A clear example is Max Keiser who once asked the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to suspend the activities of major crypto exchanges which he tagged as casinos.
In addition, Keiser categorized all altcoins as securities just as the SEC Chair Gary Gensler has always done. Just before Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP is not security back in July, the BTC supporter declared that XRP was earmarked for death and as such, it is Gensler’s job to take it out.
The SEC seems to have listened to such narratives about cryptocurrencies as the agency has been busy cracking down on the top tokens in the nascent industry.
Dogecoin co-founder refutes claims BTC is the Future
Markedly, the DOGE co-founder’s statement was a comment to a video posted by one crypto Twitter member named Udi Wertheimer.
In the short clip, BTC maximalist Robert Breedlove was seen interviewing Jason Lowery who kept on singing the praises of Bitcoin. Lowery stated that BTC is not a coin, rather, he referred to it as the future of warfare, the future of security as well as the future of people who intend to safeguard their data.

The feedback or comment from the Dogecoin co-founder is a clear indication that he disagrees with the content of the clip, a move that aligns with the perception of innovation bordering on other tokens and protocols in the industry.
