Dogecoin Co-Founder Blasts Modern Financial Markets As ‘Insane Stupidity’ — Here’s What Elon Musk Says By Benzinga

Benzinga – Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus — popularly known as Shibetoshi Nakamoto — has fiercely criticized modern financial markets, dubbing them as “insane stupidity.”

What Happened: In a tweet on Monday, Markus said, “Please always remember that every single thing about modern financial markets is batsh*t insane stupidity.”

At a time of uncertainty in the banking sector, investors have seen two major US banks — Silicon Valley Bank, a subsidiary of the SVB Financial Group, and Signature Bank — collapse. In an effort to protect depositors and avert a systemic meltdown, U.S. regulators stepped in to rescue the two banks.

Twitter chief Elon Musk chimed into the conversation and said, “Not far wrong,” affirming that he agrees with Markus.
