Since the start of March, there has been a lot of talk in the crypto community about the possibility of Tesla accepting Dogecoin as payment for their vehicles. Today, that talk has become reality, marking a significant moment for both the car industry and the world of cryptocurrency.
Tesla has now updated its payments page to include Dogecoin as an accepted form of payment. This announcement confirms that the widely popular meme coin, which has gained a strong following in the crypto community, can now be used to purchase products from the Tesla brand. The decision to accept Dogecoin is a result of Elon Musk’s enthusiasm for the cryptocurrency, as he previously stated during an event at the Tesla Gigafactory in Berlin that it would be interesting to consider Dogecoin as a potential payment method.
Despite its initial origins as a joke, Dogecoin has gained significant value and acceptance, largely thanks to Elon Musk’s frequent endorsement of the cryptocurrency on social media and in public appearances. However, it’s important to note that the acceptance of Dogecoin as payment is currently limited to specific products in Tesla’s online store and does not extend to purchasing cars.
There are specific rules for transactions made with Dogecoin on the Tesla platform. Payments must be made from a single Dogecoin wallet, and once a purchase is made, there is no option to cancel or return it. Tesla’s FAQ section clarifies that they do not accept payments from multiple wallets for a single order.
In terms of its price, Dogecoin has experienced a significant increase in value over the past week. Trading above $0.12 for several weeks, it has seen a robust growth of over 18%, making it the top meme coin in the market. Currently, Dogecoin is trading near $0.17, showing an impressive 20% increase in the last 24 hours. As of now, the price stands at $0.1605 with a 16% increase in the last 24 hours.
Technical indicators suggest an optimistic outlook for Dogecoin. The MACD indicator has shown a bullish crossover, indicating strong buying pressure. The next major resistance is expected near $0.1850, and if surpassed, the price could consolidate before moving even higher.
