In the dusty plains of the crypto frontier, where fortunes rise and fall like the sun over the Salinas Valley, Billy Markus, the wily coyote behind the meme-turned-money Dogecoin, has let loose a howl at the moon. His target? None other than Michael Saylor, the high priest of Bitcoin, whose recent sermon on the virtues of market volatility left Markus colder than a winter’s night in the California hills.
Saylor, ever the optimist, had proclaimed Bitcoin’s wild swings as “Satoshi’s gift to the faithful,” a divine blessing for those who’ve hitched their wagon to the BTC star. But Markus, whose own creation was sired from the very code of Bitcoin, wasn’t buying it. Under the pseudonym Shibetoshi Nakamoto-a nod to the elusive Satoshi himself-Markus fired back with the kind of dry wit that could wither a vineyard: “Satoshi is rewarding believers with a shitty annoying market. This is a good post.”
Markus Takes a Swing at Saylor’s Sermon
On February 3, as the crypto market lay bleeding out like a wounded steer, Saylor stood firm, his faith unshaken. “Volatility,” he declared, “is no curse, but a blessing.” Yet, for Markus, this was less a blessing and more a punchline. The Dogecoin founder, no stranger to skepticism, has long viewed crypto trading as a fool’s errand, once comparing it to a mental illness. His latest quip? “I think 2026 is the year we all get new hobbies,” he tweeted, pairing it with a chart as red as a sunset over a dying field.

Meanwhile, the market had been on a rollercoaster wilder than a carnival ride, with Bitcoin plunging from $90,000 to $73,000 in a matter of days. By now, it’s clawed back to $76,000, but the damage is done. Some $2.55 billion in crypto assets have vanished into the ether, leaving more than a few traders nursing their wounds.
Yet, Saylor’s Strategy-the world’s largest Bitcoin treasury-remains undeterred. On February 2, the company scooped up 855 BTC for $75.3 million, adding to their already staggering hoard of 713,502 Bitcoins. “We hodl,” Saylor declared, his voice steady as a rock in a storm. But Markus, ever the cynic, seems to be asking: Hodl onto what? A dream? A delusion? Or just a very expensive joke?

Strategy Keeps Buying, But Markus Keeps Doubting
As Strategy continues to pile Bitcoin onto its already mountainous stack, Markus remains unmoved. His skepticism runs deep, rooted in a belief that the crypto world is less a gold rush and more a mirage. “Trading is a mental illness,” he’s said, and his recent tweets suggest he sees the current market as just another chapter in a long, sad story.
Strategy has acquired 855 BTC for ~$75.3 million at ~$87,974 per bitcoin. As of 2/1/2026, we hodl 713,502 $BTC acquired for ~$54.26 billion at ~$76,052 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRC

In the end, the crypto world is a stage, and all the men and women merely players. Saylor, the true believer, stands at one end, his eyes fixed on the horizon. Markus, the skeptic, stands at the other, his feet firmly planted in the mud. And somewhere in the middle, the rest of us watch, wondering who’ll have the last laugh.
