Jackson Palmer released a statement on Twitter and attracted attention. Palmer announced that Dogecoin (DOGE) was blocked by its co-founder Billy Markus. Here are the details…
Billy Markus blocked another Dogecoin founder Jackson Palmer on Twitter
Jakson Palmer made a post on his social media platform Twitter. This post created a bombshell effect among crypto money followers. Palmer announced that Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus blocked him. Jackson Palmer’s strong anti-crypto stance seems to be the main reason behind this incident. Some Twitter users interpreted Markus’ decision to block the Australian programmer as a very sensitive move.
Palmer and Markus launched Dogecoin (DOGE) as a joke in 2013. Unlike Markus, who is known for his devotion to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, jackson Palmer has repeatedly criticized the famous billionaire, as we reported on Cryptokoin.com. Palmer has repeatedly called Tesla CEO Elon Musk a “grifter”. However, Palmer questioned Musk’s coding skills and claimed that the tech CEO uses crypto to satisfy his ego. The quarrel between Palmer and the famous billionaire also turned into a public debate. Contrary to all this, another Dogecoin founder Billy Markus strongly supported billionaire businessman Elon Musk.
Jackson Palmer draws attention with his oppositional attitude
Markus has repeatedly criticized the cryptocurrency industry before. In fact, the Doge founder predicted in May that almost all cryptocurrencies would fall to zero. However, unlike Palmer, who abandoned Dogecoin years ago, Markus continued to support the meme coin. Rumor has it that Blly sold all of its Dogecoins for a second-hand Honda Civic in 2015. In July, Palmer shared a thread on Twitter about how crypto is controlled by a “powerful cartel” of wealthy individuals.
However, Dogecoin fell below the $0.08 breakout level on August 18. This was the first indication that a break above USD 0.08 on August 14 could be a “dead cat bounce”. The bears continued their sell-off and pulled the price to the trendline of the ascending triangle pattern. A break below this level could invalidate the bullish setup. It could also open the doors for a possible drop to $0.06. This level is likely to attract strong buying from the bulls. Alternatively, if the price bounces back from the current level, it will indicate that the bulls are trying to defend the trendline.
