Following SpaceX’s announcement that the company accepts dogecoin payments, a clothing store on Brooklyn’s colorful Flatbush Avenue, New York also announced that it accepts Dogecoin.
A local clothing store in New York starts accepting Dogecoin cryptocurrency
While bitcoin has garnered most of the attention in the adoption debate, not far behind it is dogecoin becoming more serious in the matter. In the Cryptwerk Dogecoin Directory, there are “more than 1300 places, shops and services that accept dogecoin” although only a few are physical stores. Bitcoin cash has quite a few locations around the world where it is also accepted, including many traditional locations.
However, even among crypto’s most ardent supporters, the experience of walking down the street, walking into a store or coffee shop, and paying with crypto is an everyday occurrence, much of it has yet to be realized.
Enter Ragga Muffin on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, New York, which recently started accepting dogecoins. The clothing and shoe store that has been open since 1992 decided to accept the trendy cryptocurrency “because young people all like dogecoin,” said the owner, who claims to be identified only by his name, Dan, said.
“Many of our young customers are very excited about crypto in general and dogecoin in particular, so I want to be the first store in Flatbush to accept Doge, to attract more customers.”
Dan himself owns dogecoin and ethereum. His investment philosophy is incompatible with the prevailing hodl gospel. He’s a practice trader, chasing drops and tips for quick profits. As a testament to that, his aspiration for dogecoin is not $1, but $0.35.
Dan has been reluctant to reveal sales figures generated from his recent business endeavor, but seems very pleased with his decision to accept crypto in his store.
“A lot of people walk in when they see the sign, it creates a hype. Some are asking if we accept bitcoin. I told them no – buy Doge and come back!”
Dan didn’t give a specific answer as to why he doesn’t accept bitcoin either.
Regarding the Dogefather himself, Dan had only good words:
“Elon Musk has done a great service to the Doge community. Before him, who knew about Doge? I certainly don’t. I hope he continues to promote it. I’m waiting for him to say you can buy a Tesla with Doge, that will definitely put Doge on the moon!”
