The Dogecoin Co-Founder’s Hilarious Take on Bitcoin’s Sudden Surge

by

Well, folks, hold onto your hats. Bitcoin (BTC), the colossal behemoth of the crypto world, has decided to give us all a good show. After an impressive climb past the $110,000 mark, it’s got the crypto community buzzing like a swarm of overly caffeinated bees. And, of course, Dogecoin cofounder Billy Markus, always the joker, couldn’t resist chiming in.

In his typical tongue-in-cheek manner, Markus threw out this gem on X (because why wouldn’t you?): “Bitcoin randomly decided to get exciting.” Which, let’s face it, is the kind of witty commentary we’ve all come to expect from the man who helped create a meme coin that’s somehow still around.

So, Bitcoin reached a high of $110,651 late on Monday. It’s been over two weeks since it hit such heights, and it’s safe to say this has surprised everyone, including Bitcoin’s own fans. Can we talk about how it was just a little bit sleepy before this sudden burst? Like, someone just woke it up from a nap and handed it a Red Bull.

Right now, Bitcoin is cruising at $109,524, with a 2.68% increase in the last 24 hours. This is the kind of momentum that makes you wonder: is Bitcoin a genius, or just really good at showing up fashionably late to the party? Either way, it’s up nearly 5% in the last seven days after dipping to $100,377 on June 5. We’re talking about a roller coaster ride that almost mimicked a slight downturn earlier this month—talk about dramatic timing!

At this rate, Bitcoin is just a stone’s throw away from its all-time high of $111,814, a level it achieved back in May. Only 2.24% to go! But hey, no one’s counting, right? Let’s just hope it doesn’t pull a disappearing act like some of those altcoins that we’re all too familiar with.

But wait, there’s more! It’s not just Bitcoin living its best life. Ethereum, the second most popular cryptocurrency, has also joined the party, trading above $2,690 with a 7.2% rise. Meanwhile, other altcoins are seeing gains that make even the most stoic crypto enthusiast raise an eyebrow. Some are up as much as 18%. I mean, who said the crypto world was boring?

As for Dogecoin, it’s seen a 4.23% rise in the past 24 hours, pushing it to $0.1918. However, in the last week, it’s taken a slight dip of 1.98%. The volatility, folks. Can’t get enough of it. Oh, and for the masochistic among us, $435 million in crypto positions were liquidated over the past 24 hours, with $374 million coming from shorts. Someone’s probably crying into their laptop right now.

But don’t worry—Dogecoin is getting some love in the form of a new product. Heritage Distilling Holding Company, North America’s top craft distillery (yes, that’s a thing), has announced the launch of House of Doge Bourbon, a whiskey made in collaboration with the Dogecoin Foundation. That’s right, folks. We’re getting a Dogecoin-inspired whiskey. Because why not add a little extra volatility to your liver?
