After confirming that AMC would begin accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin for online payment, the company's CEO asked the Dogecoin community if AMC should add meme coin as a payment option.
Almost 80% want to pay for a cinema ticket with DOGE
Adam Aron, CEO of the world's largest cinema chain AMC Entertainment, conducted a poll via Twitter on Tuesday (September 21, 2021) to see if the company should accept payment in DOGE. The survey, which ends on September 22, drew many responses, most of which wanted AMC to include the meme token.
According to Aron, the Twitter poll came amid calls from members of the Dogecoin online community to add DOGE to the list of crypto options.
“I've heard from many on my Twitter feed that we should also accept Dogecoin. Do you think AMC should explore Dogecoin acceptance? "
Prior to the latest development, AMC's CEO announced that the movie giant will be accepting Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin by the end of 2021. This came after Aron previously revealed during a earnings call in August that customers would be were able to pay for tickets and discounts online with bitcoin for the film, even at the end of the year.
The poll has so far seen 110.000 votes, with 70% responding positively to the idea of the DOGE payment, while 8% also agree but say they would not use the meme coin for payment. Meanwhile, 22% of voters were not in favor of the motion.
Growing support for payments in Dogecoin
Aron's survey comes as the cryptocurrency market is experiencing huge price drops, along with global financial markets, mostly tied to the Evergrande saga. Bitcoin, which traded at $ 48 over the weekend, dropped to $ 40.

Dogecoin is currently the 0,7th largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and hit an all-time high (ATH) of over $ 0,2 in May. Now, however, it has dropped to around $ XNUMX.
If AMC Entertainment goes ahead to include the meme token in the list of accepted cryptocurrencies, the movie giant would become the latest company to support payments in DOGE. Some others who have adopted Dogecoin include the American basketball team Dallas Mavericks and Newegg.
In addition to AMC's Adam Aron, Tesla CEO Elon Musk also conducted a similar survey for his followers. Although many of the respondents voted in favor of the electric vehicle manufacturer to include DOGE as a payment option, the company has yet to make it official.
