Dogecoin creator Billy Markus, who goes by the name "Shibetoshi Nakamoto" on X, has made an unexpected Bitcoin price prediction that has caught the attention of the crypto community.

In a tweet reacting to a recent 2050 Bitcoin price prediction from VanEck, a prominent asset investment management firm, the Dogecoin co-creator offered his prediction.

Markus posted a screenshot of a tweet that shared VanEck's 2050 price prediction for Bitcoin: $130,314 as the worst case, a base case price of $2,910,345 and $52,386,207 as the best case scenario for the Bitcoin price.

The Dogecoin co-founder, known for his humorous style, could not resist making a tongue-in-cheek prediction: "Wow, how fascinating. Here’s my 2050 price prediction: worst case - $0. Best case - $3,141,526,535,897,932,384,626,433,832."

Dogecoin's founder's Bitcoin prediction

Dogecoin founder Billy Markus has a history of using humor and sarcasm to comment on the crypto space, a style that has resonated with many within the community. Dogecoin itself was born as a lighthearted joke and is currently the ninth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

While the Dogecoin co-founder's post was intended in fun, it serves as a reminder of the speculative nature of long-term price predictions.

Markus jokingly acknowledges the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies by proposing a "worst-case scenario of $0." On the other hand, his "best case" prediction, a mind-bogglingly large number, pokes fun at the overly optimistic projections made by some analysts and enthusiasts.

The use of the number "3,141,526,535,897,932,384,626,433,832" seems like a nod to the mathematical constant pi, though multiplied to an astronomical degree, which adds an extra layer of humor to the Bitcoin price prediction.
