Here’s What Elon Musk Buying Twitter Would Mean For Dogecoin
Dogecoin Tipping Jar
Elon Musk’s favorite cryptocurrency might see itself being added to Twitter’s ‘tipping jar’. At present, the social media giant has enabled a tipping jar for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Dogecoin might be added to the tipping jar now that Elon Musk fully owns the company.
The Dogecoin community started a petition early this year asking Twitter to add Dogecoin to their tipping jar. However, even its co-founder Billy Markus kick-started the hashtag “#DogeTwitterTipJar” which became trending in no time.
