The CEO of AMC Theater, Adam Aron said that the chain would officially accept Dogecoin payments for digital gift cards via BitPay Wallet.
The Dogecoin community infamously passionate for adoption initiatives tweeted in an attempt to advocate for the asset’s integration within the theater’s payment options. Users can now purchase up to $200 worth of digital gift cards per day. These cards can then be redeemed by theater goers in cinemas across the United States.
Aron was surprised by the mass attention, reporting over 6 million views and 140,000 votes on his post, including distinguished Doge fanatics Elon Musk and Mark Cuban. AMC Entertainment have already expressed intent to accept four other crypto currency assets such as Bitcoin , Ether, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash by the end of 2021. The institution has 620 theaters across the United States, and a further 358 theatres across Europe.
As crypto currencies emerge into the mainstream consciousness, positioned to consumers as liberating alternatives to traditional fiat currencies, a new wave of public venues are transitioning their technological infrastructure to support this demand.
