Tesla now accepts Dogecoin as a payment method for merchandise



 Tesla can now pay for certain items with DOGE, but returns, exchanges and cancellations are no longer required.


Tesla boss Elon Musk has announced that the successful car manufacturer will now accept Dogecoin ( DOGE ) as payment for certain merchandise items. In order to be able to pay with the DOGE, interested customers only have to send the respective amount in DOGE to the Dogecoin wallet, but there is a catch.


The eighth largest company in the world first makes it clear that it does not accept any other cryptocurrencies as a payment method apart from the DOGE . Any crypto funds sent to Tesla that “are not Dogecoin will therefore be returned to the buyer.”


In addition, items paid for with the DOGE "cannot be returned, exchanged or cancelled". All purchases in the form of the joke cryptocurrency are therefore fixed and cannot be reversed.


Dogecoin inventor Billy Markus immediately responded to the announcement, urging : "Dogecoin community, you know what you have to do."


The followers of the much-hyped cryptocurrency did not take long to ask and after just a few minutes they posted on social media that they had purchased the first Tesla fan items using Dogecoin. For example , a German user writes : “The Tesla Tequila is already on the way me to Germany!”


A month ago, Tesla had already announced that DOGE should be introduced as a payment method for merchandise. As a result, the Dogecoin price shot up by a whopping 25%. After today's launch, the DOGE rose again by 18.63%. 


In December, Tesla CEO Elon Musk again explained why he prefers DOGE over crypto market leader Bitcoin ( BTC ), saying that "while Dogecoin was created as a hoax, it's better suited for transactions [than BTC]" . The inflationary conception of the DOGE would also be an advantage in this context, since investors would be more likely to spend the cryptocurrency again than to hold it.



The big automaker could be a pioneer for many small and medium-sized businesses this year, as more and more "SMEs" want to implement cryptocurrency payments in 2022, according to a survey by Visa.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
