AMC has been quite some time looked into adding DOGE and SHIB as payment methods.
End of October last year, Aron opened Twitter a poll asking his followers whether or not AMC should begin accepting SHIB as a payment option. Out of the 153,100 votes, an overwhelming majority of 81.4% were in favor for AMC accepting SHIB.
TWITTER POLL #2: As you know, you can now purchase AMC gift cards using cryptocurrency, and our IT group is writing code so that soon we can accept online payments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Dogecoin among others. Should we strive to take Shiba Inu too?
A month earlier, Aron conducted a similar poll asking if AMC should accept DOGE as payment as well. After over 68% of were in favor, AMC swiftly took action and allowed customers to load up gift cards with Dogecoin and use them to purchase select products just a few weeks later.
I sincerely want to hear your opinion, via this Twitter Poll. By year-end 2021, AMC will take Bitcoin, Etherum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash for online payments. I hear from many on my Twitter feed we should accept Dogecoin too. Do you think AMC should explore accepting Dogecoin?
