Twitter boss, tech billionaire and DOGE lover <a href="https://u.today/no-elon-musk-will-not-allow-crypto-or-stock-trading-on-twitter" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Elon Musk</a> has tweeted about popular coffee chain Starbucks. Musk thanked the retail chain of coffee shops for “reliably serving millions of coffees and snacks every day around the world”. 
He did admit, though, that many consumers are unhappy with Starbucks too. 
The DOGE community eagerly responded with many asking when Starbucks would start accepting Dogecoin. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> 
 I wish I could pay for their coffee in Dogecoin <a href="https://t.co/6b8X4Qb0Ea" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/6b8X4Qb0Ea</a>— DogeDesigner (@cb_doge) <a href="https://twitter.com/cb_doge/status/1687532483166740480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">August 4, 2023</a>

Actually, Starbucks already accepts cryptocurrencies through various <a href="https://u.today/worlds-largest-coffee-chain-expected-to-start-using-crypto-to-manage-its-prepaid-cards" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">payment methods</a>. Mainly, the chain sells coffee for crypto via the <a href="https://u.today/bakkt-will-allow-you-to-spend-bitcoin-at-starbucks-with-its-new-app-details" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SPEDN app</a> by Flexa or crypto gift cards provided by Bitrefill. 
A few years ago, U.Today covered that the <a href="https://u.today/bakkt-will-allow-you-to-spend-bitcoin-at-starbucks-with-its-new-app-details" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bakkt giant</a> was planning to begin collaborating with Starbucks as well to let its customers pay with digital currencies. The partnership kicked off in 2021, where aside from Bakkt, Paypal also participates. 
In December 2022, <a href="https://u.today/matic-keeps-surging-as-starbucks-and-polygon-collaboration-goes-live" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Starbucks partnered with Polygon</a> blockchain platform to allow coffee lovers to win Polygon-based NFT called "Journey Stamp". 
At the time of this writing, Dogecoin is slightly under 2% up, according to the data shared by CoinMarketCap, changing hands at $0.07526.
