A car dealership in New Jersey, called “$499 Down Now”, now accepts Shiba Inu, along with its offspring tokens BONE and LEASH, as forms of payment. The announcement was made on Twitter by the brother of the business owner, who also attached some images of the advertisements of the dealership, stating the acceptance of the tokens.
Will multiple small-scale adoptions lead to mass Shiba Inu acceptance?
Shiba Inu has had quite a winning streak this year. With multiple big collaborations and listings, and not to mention small-scale adoption, that seems to have seeped the world over. Shiba Inu without a doubt has one of the most supportive and loyal fan bases among any cryptocurrency. The Shiba Army has never missed an opportunity to showcase the best side of their favorite coin and has done so in an applaudable way.
The story of how the car dealership in New Jersey came to accept SHIB is also one for the books. The best method to help Shiba Inu is to raise awareness of the Shiba Ecosystem as a whole, and that is exactly what happened.
The brother of the business owner, Ahmed Fazary, was trying to convince his brother to accept Shib as a form of payment in his dealership. Upon explaining how the entire Shiba Inu ecosystem works, and the power of the Shib Army, the brother was so impressed that he went on to accept the trifecta of Shiba Inu: SHIB, BONE, and LEASH.
This is one example of how education and knowledge about a project can open people’s eyes to it. The Shiba Army is a very supportive community. They have always shown to have been there for each other and to support causes that have been started by members of the community.
Many businesses have begun accepting Shiba Inu just to get some recognition, as it has become a quick way to get your business on the map. However, it still proves that the Shiba community is strong as ever, and SHIB sure is having a jolly good time with the recent developments.
At the time of publication, Shiba Inu was trading at $0.00002201.
