Elon Musk launches Foul Fragrance, accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and Other Altcoins as payment
Elon Musk is adding a new eccentric product to his company's list of crypto-payable goods and services.
Boring Company, Musk's tunnelling firm, has now released a perfume called Burnt Hair, which Musk says is "the finest fragrance on Earth."
"With a name like mine, it was inevitable that I'd end up in the fragrance business - why did I fight it for so long!?"
Musk claims that his company accepts Dogecoin payments for the $100(1800) perfume (DOGE). The world's richest man is a strong supporter of the canine-inspired token, preferring it over the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC). In a June interview with Bloomberg News, he stated that he promotes the meme currency because "not that wealthy" individuals push him to purchase and support the crypto asset.
"You can pay with Doge!"
Buyers can also pay with Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), ApeCoin (APE), Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin, Shiba Inu (SHIB), Euro Coin (EUROC), and the dollar-pegged stablecoins Gemini Dollar (GUSD), USD Coin (USDC), Pax Dollar (USDP), DAI, and Binance USD through the crypto payment platform BitPay (BUSD).
The foul-smelling fragrance is scheduled to be released in the first quarter of 2023, but Musk claims that 10,000 bottles have already been sold.
"10,000 bottles of Burnt Hair have been sold!"
I can't wait for the news articles tomorrow about the $1 million sale of Burnt Hair."
