- Markus earns the DOGE community\u2019s deepest respect for rejecting the offer.<\/strong><\/li>\n

\nTwitter DOGE community has applauded Billy Markus, Dogecoin co-founder, who rejected a considerable offer to betray the DOGE community. The bribe attempt of 10 billion DOGE (about $14 million) wanted Markus to promote another project known as project Dogecoin but which is built on the Ethereum network. Respected DOGE community member, Vee, revealed the offer via Twitter on Thursday.<\/p>\n

⚠️ IMPORTANT!<\/p>\n
Billy was offered to get 10B DC from Dogechain to promote their project.<\/p>\n
That is, at the current price, 14 MILLION DOLLARS.@BillyM2k<\/a> turning down this much money to avoid betraying your community is worthy of our deepest respect. pic.twitter.com\/3YyAfXfA1X<\/a><\/p>\n

Vee further said that Markus\u2019s gesture was noble, given that he couldn\u2019t afford to purchase a home. He also said it is unlikely that any other Dogecoin founder would have taken a similar action under the same circumstances. The DOGE community member said many other DOGE influencers had betrayed the community in the past to make quick bucks and fund their lavish lifestyles.<\/p>\n
Markus reacts<\/h3>\n
In his response, the Dogecoin co-founder said he didn\u2019t protect the DOGE community from anything since everyone has the free will to decide and do whatever pleases them. He also reiterated Vee\u2019s comments that many crypto players wouldn\u2019t mind betraying a whole project or doing anything illegal so long it puts money in their pockets.<\/p>\n
Markus added that many crypto investors only gamble with their money. Also, they will always validate their actions. Thus, making it almost impossible to convince them otherwise. However, Markus further said he chose not to encourage anyone to take an action that doesn\u2019t sit right with him.<\/p>\n
\n
to be fair i personally don\u2019t think we can protect \u201cthe community\u201d from anything since people are free to make their own decisions and the huge majority of people in crypto couldn\u2019t care less about anything but making money<\/p>\n
all you\u2019ll see is things repeat themselves forever<\/p>\n

He also said he doesn\u2019t think he must encourage people to buy DOGE. Markus believes anyone willing to invest must understand such an investment before committing their money to it. The Dogecoin co-founder stated again that he remains committed to the DOGE community and will never betray it for anything.<\/p>\n
He also said he continues to protect the community from the bad actors. Markus\u2019 strong DOGE stance might be one of the reasons he blocked fellow Dogecoin founder Jack Palmer. Despite being one of Dogecoin\u2019s founders, Palmer has been highly critical of the project and the crypto industry.<\/p>\n
