Elon Musk Says Dogecoin Should Be 'More Currency-Like,' Responds To Billy Markus On Crypto's Future

The Dogecoin DOGE/USD was created in 2013 by Jackson Palmer and Billy Markus as a joke based on a popular meme portraying a Shiba Inu. 

The crypto coin has garnered much popularity following Tesla Inc TSLA CEO Elon Musk's endorsement of the meme coin as his favorite cryptocurrency. 

Dogecoin has made way for more meme coins such as Shiba Inu SHIB/USD, Dogelon Mars ELON/USD, and Floki Inu FLOKI/USD, and many more. 

In a Tweet, Markus, who goes by the pseudonym Shibetoshi Nakamoto on Twitter, outlined how he'd like the Dogecoin community to utilize the crypto. 

Markus also urged people to keep working on the meme coin, adding more utility and security. Elon Musk responded, suggesting that Dogecoin should operate more like a currency.
