These questions include whether he regrets selling his crypto in 2015 and missing out on millions of dollars. He sarcastically replied that he likes the fact that he didn’t make it to millionaire because he got rid of his crypto assets too soon.

According to the tweet, every time he is asked such a question, he is reminded of this milestone – “thanks for reminding me, really appreciate it!

He wrote that they should thank those who took DOGE from them on an exchange and reminded his army of followers that Dogecoin was originally intended to be a joke, a parody of Bitcoin, when DOGE was launched in 2013. BTC had been launched by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto four years earlier.
