Dogecoin Co-Founder's Crappy Doodle NFT, Made In His 'Underwear,' Sells For 1500x Over Asking Price

Dogecoin DOGE/USD co-creator Billy Markus’ “Crappy Dogecoin Doodle” non-fungible token, or NFT, art that he created in his "underwear" just like the meme coin, attracted a bid of $3,192.

What Happened: The NFT is a digital image that states “Dog Money Is THE FUTURE” above a supposed image of a Dogecoin. The artwork is embellished with several scribbles like “such art,” “wow,” and “many effort.”
