You can buy Ferrari for DOGE these days
Billy Markus has shared his take on the recent move of Ferrari to begin accepting cryptocurrencies, in particular, according to Reuters, BTC, XRP and ETH, for its luxury automobiles in the US. He seems to be skeptical about the ability of average crypto holders to be able to afford a car of that high price range.“I guess they don’t know that all crypto people are broke,” Markus commented, posting a screenshot of the Reuters article. Still, the good news here for the Dogecoin army is that Billy reckons that Ferrari will also accept DOGE for their cars since they are accepting crypto in collaboration with BitPay crypto payment gateway.
BitPay works with more than a dozen cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and others. BitPay collaborates with many traditional producers and vendors, allowing consumers to use crypto to buy Porsche (ETR:P911_p) sports cars, pay for rent of vehicles, for logistics services, mortgage and personal bank loans. The latter is possible thanks to BitPay’s partnership with Method Financial announced earlier this year.
