“I’m in the process of switching Internet providers and I thought it would be so cool to buy Starlink with Doge. That’s where the idea to ask him came from, ”said Crider on Twitter.
“It’s a great idea. Starlink could also act as nodes in the Dogecoin network, enabling interoperability between Starlink satellites and the Dogecoin ecosystem, ” commented another Dogecoin influencer.
A few hours earlier, Musk responded with a sweat droplet emoji to a McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD) announcement on Twitter that led to a short-lived DOGE rally. The meme-based cryptocurrency gained 7.5% on Sunday after market participants saw Musk’s response as reason enough to believe McDonald’s would accept DOGE as payment.
DOGE traded flat after the fast-food company revealed the surprise to be a Kanye West feature in its Super Bowl advertisement.
DOGE Price Action: At press time, DOGE was trading at $ 0.1446, down 5.7% in the last 24 hours.
