Palmer, however, is unlikely to celebrate the birthday of the meme cryptocurrency as he is no longer working in the dogecoin and abandoned the community a long time ago. In a July tweet, he claimed that the crypto industry was controlled by “a powerful cartel.” He adds that cryptocurrencies were specifically built to enrich those at the top. Thus, they represent the worst of today’s system.
