Tesla Chooses DOGE Over Bitcoin
Wu Colin earlier reported that there were several rumors in the crypto community about Tesla adding Bitcoin and Dogecoin to its main source code of payment page. A verification suggested that both BTC and DOGE were present in the payment page source code since January 2023.
He mentioned that the electric automobile giant hadn’t removed the code carrying Bitcoin and Dogecoin when it earlier discontinued the service to pay with BTC. However, he added that at present it seems like Tesla has decided to retain just Dogecoin over BTC for this service.
This might come as a surprise for the crypto community as Tesla decided to ditch Bitcoin and choose DOGE. However, Tesla hasn’t made any official announcement regarding this move. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla has been a big fan of DOGE already. He has been caught promoting the biggest memecoin on every platform now and then.
