Dogecoin Creator Makes Fun Of "Web3 People" Once Again
Dogecoin developer Billy Markus recently called out the Web3 community in a tweet. He suggested that Web3 users want money without exchanging it for goods and services. The Dogecoin developer's story with the Web3 industry, in general, started after Elon Musk tweeted, making fun of "Web3 people" that seem annoying to him. The initial tweet inspired double-barreled hostility from both Markus and Musk toward Web3.
Previously, Elon Musk asked his subscribers if anyone had seen Web3 anywhere, suggesting that the industry had slowed down and the hype around it is slowly passing. A few hours later, Markus reacted to the "looking for Web3" tweet suggesting that it is somewhere low and undesirable after posting a GIF of a person looking into a toilet.
While it is not clear why the Dogecoin creators joined the hate train toward Web3, both of them could be considered crypto influencers on Twitter who tend to support each other's tweets and opinions in general. Markus recently tweeted:
"web 2 customer: i would like to exchange money for goods and services that i get value from
web 3 customer: i would like money"
Musk has previously stated that Dogecoin is fundamentally better than anything he has ever seen in the crypto industry. The main reasons behind such a statement were Dogecoin's fees and speed, which allows for a greater number of transactions for a lower cost than Bitcoin.
Web3 brings the principle of decentralization to the web, where internet users will be the only owners of their data. The concept became possible with the further development of blockchain and decentralized technologies.
DOGE Price Is Expected To Reach These Levels
The Dogecoin price chart shows us that DOGE has been quite bearish over the past couple of sessions. If the current bearish sentiment persists, we could see DOGE drop to $0.165, where the 20-bar SMA could act as support. However, if sellers manage to pierce this level of support, we could see DOGE drop to $0.160.
