Scott Paul, the founder of Utah-based marketing agency Wooly, put up his Saratoga Springs home for sale, with Dogecoin (DOGE) as an acceptable payment method.
It has been reported that while the listing price is set at $399,000, Paul is reportedly ready to offer a 10% discount if the purchase is made via Dogecoin.
Paul said:
“I’m a very risky person. I think the chances of me selling it in Dogecoin and having it go up by 20%, 30% or 40% is more likely.”
However, given the current price of Dogecoin, Paul’s house listing at a 10% discount will amount to 1,734,782.60 DOGE. The eighth-ranked crypto is down 72% from its May all-time high as of August 2. The Wooly founder’s background in brand recognition and viral marketing also offers a likely explanation for the decision to accept Dogecoin as a payment option. DOGE is arguably the largest viral meme coin in the crypto space, with its price growth often fueled by the same techniques ubiquitous in the influencer marketing arena.
The report said that for Paul, the decision to accept Dogecoin for his house is also part of a longstanding interest in cryptocurrencies dating back to 2015.
Thus, he said that he was an early adopter of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH).
