Will Amazon accept DOGE payments?

A Doge-like image on Amazon website has got some Dogecoin enthusiasts thinking that one of the largest e-commerce companies, Amazon, would consider accepting payments with the meme cryptocurrency.

This would be a milestone for Dogecoin (DOGE), which could also push price above the $1 mark, owing to the popularity of the e-commerce company.

However, that doesn’t seem to be the case. The image on the Amazon app was actually a “Corgi” and not Dogecoin’s “Shiba Inu,” as some DOGE-fans thought. Amazon users confirmed this, saying that the Corgi image has been on the mobile application for years.

Meanwhile, this doesn’t negate the fact that many Dogecoin enthusiasts want Amazon to accept payment the cryptocurrency, which is currently the fourth-largest by market capitalization.
