One thing about this AMC and Shib thing to break it down even further.
Ok lets say that a movie ticket cost $15. Been a long time since I been to the theatres and I had the A-List subscription before anyways which was like 20 or 22 bucks a month and 3 movies a week. So I'm not too familiar with what ticket prices are these days anyways. So AMC accepts SHIB for movie tickets, $15 worth. They have no guarantee that the price of SHIB will remain stable or go up. So those $15 might be worth $14 the next day or who knows what price. Or could be worth $16 and the consumer lost a dollar and they gained one. But AMC has expenses to pay themselves such as payroll and supplies. Imagine you work for AMC and they tell you that they gotta cut your pay cuz SHIB went down in price.
Coin goes down in price and they not making as much revenue as before so they gotta cut costs and it could affect the stock. Don't know if they willing to take that risk.
Exactly. This is how I feel about anything that takes crypto as payment. On the vendor side you run the risk of taking a instant hit if it dips heavy, unless they plan to swap to fiat right away. But on the buyer side who is actually willing to get rid of coins for products, when they were planning to hold and make money off of.
Sort of how I felt when Newegg early this year mentioned taking Doge via Bitpay during its run up, and folks thought that would cause some more positive price action. Anyone who had it was waiting for that $1 mark to hit, not to spend before it on a video card lol.
That's not how it works. Companies accepting crypto payments is a bit of a gimmick. There is no risk to the Companies and vendors cause it gets converted to cash instantly when you purchase it. They don't actually hold your shib, doge or whatever you paid with cause the prices are too volatile.
