- Dogecoin’s founder Shibetoshi Nakamoto offers a polite request for crypto.
- He played out a dialogue with crypto via a meme from “Avengers: Endgame”.
- Following Bitcoin, Dogecoin fell double-digits amid Middle East tensions.
Dogecoin’s (DOGE) outspoken founder Billy Markus, a.k.a Shibetoshi Nakamoto, is not particularly happy with the current direction of the market. As the general crypto markets tumbled double-digits since October 1, 2024, the presumptions of a historically bullish month have evaporated due to rising tensions in the Middle East.
October’s Market Turns Full Of Fear
As the flagship crypto asset Bitcoin (BTC) found its footing at $60,000 support in the following days, the slippery slope from the weekly heights of $66,304 scared a considerable number of crypto enthusiasts, with some deciding to panic sell. According to Crypto’s Fear & Greed Index, the market sentiment has shifted from greed to fear since last week.
Because of this, Dogecoin’s creator Shibetoshi Nakamoto compared the intricacies of the crypto market to that of dating an attractive girl. “Crypto is like a really hot girl who gives you attention for a bit and you gaslight yourself thinking just maybe you might have a chance”, – says the inventor of the top dog meme coin.
Alluding to the heavy price drops that most large-cap altcoins have experienced since the beginning of October, Shibetoshi Nakamoto concludes: “but then she drops you and starts dating a rich guy”. The Dogecoin founder is likely referring to the largest digital assets all experiencing a sharp dip after a better-than-expected September.
“Hey Crypto, Can You Stop Crashing?”
The ever-shifting crypto market dynamics didn’t spare DOGE, which faced a 11% deficit in a 7-day timeframe. The flagship meme coin established a double top at $0.13, before spiraling back to the pre-claimed support territory at above $0.10. “hey crypto can you stop crashing and go back to unsustainable mania please”, – pleaded Shibetoshi Nakamoto.
Naturally, this feeling of disappointment is being felt by a variety of crypto enthusiasts on X, who shared words of encouragement. “Hey Billy, volatility happens! Jus’ HODL on!”, – says one highly optimistic crypto aficionado. Shibetoshi Nakamoto’s recent crypto meme following the plea stems from the movie “Avengers: Endgame”. The “unsustainable mania” requested by Shibetoshi likely refers to the greatest meme coin bull cycle of all time, which took place in March, 2024.
