Crypto Influencers Suggest Important Tasks That Top Meme Cryptocurrencies Perform in the Crypto Space
The head of the PAC protocol, former US politician and prominent crypto supporter David Gokhshtein, has taken to Twitter to emphasize the importance of the meme cryptocurrency, he believes, to the space as a whole.
Here’s what Gokhshten suggests.
“SHIB AND FLOKI Will Follow Dogecoin’s Suit”
David believes that meme cryptocurrencies, and canine coins in particular, attract users to the crypto space. In October last year, he tweeted that Dogecoin had brought a lot of people to bitcoin.
In today’s tweet, he mentioned two meme crypto coins that have become popular recently – the Shiba Inu (SHIB) and the Floki Inu (FLOKI) – adding that they will continue to attract people similar to the Doge to the crypto scape. It’s great for adoption, he pointed out.
just like $DOGE Did $SHIB K and $floki Will keep bringing more people into this space – which is a good thing for adoption.

Tesla starts accepting Doge for merch
Earlier today, Elon Musk tweeted that Tesla has launched merchant buyables with DOGE. The first time he announced that the upcoming event was December. Now, Doge cofounder Billy Marcus (who no longer works on the project but continues to support it on social media) posted a tweet with a “cyberwhistle” that can be purchased for $300 DOGE.
In another tweet, he urged the Dogecoin community to start spending their Meme Coins on Tesla merchandise.

Earlier, Elon Musk said in a podcast that Dogecoin is fundamentally better than any other crypto he has seen “only by accident”. The Tesla CEO is of the opinion that Doge is better suited for payments than bitcoin, according to his earlier interview.
Tesla preparing to sell e-car for Doge: Rumors spreading fast
Last year, Tesla attempted to use bitcoin as a payment option for its e-cars, but then quickly backfired, claiming that bitcoin mining harms the environment. Subsequently, Musk stated that BTC will not be reinstated as a payment option until at least 50% of BTC mining is based on renewable energy. According to Michael Sayer, CEO of MicroStrategy and a strict bitcoin proponent, this level was achieved last year but Tesla is yet to resume selling cars for BTC.
Now, there are rumors on Crypto Twitter that the company is preparing to integrate Doge payment for e-cars, according to the source code on the Tesla website.
