Markus wrote that he would not be interested in such a project forever.
His Views on Cryptocurrencies
Markus also answered questions such as whether MDOGE will be accepted as a payment method on Mars.

He also stated that he agreed with the Solana tokens. Markus has been known for his opposition to cryptocurrencies for years, and being the co-founder of Dogecoin does not change this stance.
