You can now buy graphics cards with Dogecoin
Newegg, one of the biggest PC hardware retailers in North America has announced today that it will accept Dogecoin as an official payment option.
The value of the cryptocurrency that was born out of memes has risen nearly 8656% in a single year alone. It has been on the rise ever since Elon Musk has begun promoting it with his tweets.
The fact that other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum have also increased in value surely had an effect on Dogecoin as well.
Newegg will now accept payments with Bitcoin and Dogecoin through its Bitpay service. This of course means that users should already have their digital wallets with the cryptocurrency ready.
The form of payment will take more time than usual debit or credit card payment.
Online electronics retailer Newegg has declared support for Dogecoin as a form of payment. The Dogecoin addition came amid a meteoric rise in the meme-based cryptocurrency’s value.
Dogecoin has climbed more than 480% over the past week, hitting a $50 billion market cap for the first time in history.
Newegg began accepting Bitcoin payments in 2014, becoming one of the major online stores to do so. At the time, Newegg partnered with BitPay on the new payment method, which was initially available in the US.
The firm has grown and expanded the payment option across more than 70 countries.
In atweetpublished on the 20th of April, Newegg announced:
“We are now accepting Dogecoin as an official payment method via BitPay. Simply click “Edit” in the payment section during the checkout, select BitPay and complete your transaction.
Online retailer newegg accepting dogecoin optional
American online electronics retailer Newegg has added Dogecoin (DOGE) as its official payment method, significant growth for the memes based cryptocurrency.
Newegg Added DOGE as Payment Through BitPay
Newegg announced on Tuesday that the company has added this option through its crypto payment platform BitPay.
The company announced that this new feature kicked off with Doge Day – the community crypto holiday promoted by Doge’s supporters, will be celebrated on April 20th. According to online reports, Dogecoin supporters are clearly hoping DOGE hits $1 today.
Andrew Choi, Newegg’s senior brand manager, said the growth momentum in the cryptocurrency is “undeniable”.
Online retailer newegg accepting dogecoin options
Newegg has been quick to embrace the shift to cryptocurrency. In 2014, the company was the first major e-retailer to accept Bitcoin for purchases made on the Newegg platform.
Similarly, Newegg is among the first to enable customers to pay with Dogecoin while shopping online.
“The excitement and momentum around cryptocurrency are undeniable, and the recent surge in Dogecoin value underscores the need to make it easier for customers to make purchases with this popular cryptocurrency,” said Andrew Choi, Sr. Brand Manager of Newegg.
BitPay will conduct the Bitcoin transaction and immediately convert the Bitcoins into US dollars, which is what Newegg will see. This process is effectively transparent to both Newegg and the customer, making Bitcoin just another way to pay.
Many people see that as essential to mass adoption of Bitcoin as a tool for commerce.

snapCard is a different kind of beast. The company allows people to shop anywhere and pay with Bitcoin.
It does so by serving as a middleman.
With the use of a bookmarklet, a Bitcoin user can shop on any site.
Online computer parts retail company Newegg has just started accepting Dogecoin for payments. The company shared the news from its official Twitter account recently.
We are now accepting #dogecoin as an official payment method via BitPay.
Simply click “Edit” in the payment section during checkout, select @BitPay, and complete your transaction.
Happy #DogeDay to all, let’s share the good news https://t.co/Fht42HlwTi pic.twitter.com/VoBKip1nqQ

The announcement followed just hours after they tweeted that they were considering Dogecoin as a payment option.

They asked followers to retweet if they agreed and received a great response.
Will Elon Buy From Newegg?
Not just this, but the computer parts retailer also tried to profit off of DOGE’s popularity with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk. They tagged him and asked if he’d buy from Newegg once they started taking Dogecoin payments.
The CEO has yet to respond to this.
Newegg is one of the earliest crypto-accepting companies and is also a great supporter of the industry. In fact, it added Bitcoin as a payment option as early as 2014.
Dogecoin on Its Way to the Moon
The addition of Dogecoin to the website’s payment options will boost the currency’s practical use potential greatly. It will also help change the idea that Dogecoin is merely a joke or a meme coin.
This is great news for DOGE, especially in the middle of its recent price rally.
Users should also take notice of all the fees that will be included with this form of payment. In case of a goods return, Newegg will issue a gift card instead of a normal money transfer.
In the last few days, Dogecoin was the only cryptocurrency that has seen steady growth in value.
Byt far, the biggest problem with cryptocurrencies is that they may lose their value just as quickly as it grew. Only last week we have seen a Bitcoin value drop by 16% after it reached its record high value of $63,000 USD.
Meanwhile, a single Dogecoin is currently valued at $0.4 USD.
« press release »
April 19, 2021 – Los Angeles, CA – Newegg, one of the leading tech-focused e-retailers in North America, today celebrates #DogeDay by announcing that the company now accepts Dogecoin as an official payment method on Newegg.com.
Newegg has been quick to embrace the shift to cryptocurrency.
Ok, so just so we are clear – Dogecoin is a meme cryptocurrency, but apparently, it also has real value, as online retailer Newegg has announced that it will now accept Dogecoin as a payment method.
This is not the first crypto that Newegg will accept. Back in 2014, the online platform began accepting Bitcoin as a payment method.
Now, depending on how you feel about cryptocurrency, Bitcoin either makes more sense or it is also a make-believe thing and neither has real value.
The announcement from Newegg makes it one of the first places to accept the meme currency. Dogecoin has seen massive growth, fueled by social media and people like Elon Musk.
Newegg made the announcement yesterday, on Doge Day, the day the internet decided to try and push the digital currency to new levels.
