Bored & Hungry accepts cryptocurrencies such as ApeCoin & Ethereum

Recently, the question was raised that Bored & Hungry would stop accepting cryptocurrencies, in view perhaps of the prolonged bear market the sector is experiencing. 

Confirming that this was fake news was actually the founding entrepreneur of Bored and Hungry, Andy Nguyen, who explained on Twitter that the NFT-themed restaurant in BAYC has always continued and will continue to accept cryptocurrencies. In fact, the only cryptocurrencies accepted by the fast-food restaurant are ApeCoin and Ethereum. 

Still, Nguyen also showed that the famous rapper Snoop Dogg, known in the NFT world for a long time, is also in close contact with Bored & Hungry. According to some rumors, Snoop Dogg himself could launch a Bored Ape-themed restaurant in Los Angeles.  

The Price of ApeCoin (APE)

Analyzing the price of ApeCoin (APE), the 35th cryptocurrency by market capitalization with a dominance of 0.16%, its trend over the past month has followed Bitcoin’s trend, albeit with some differences. 

In fact, at the time of writing, APE was worth $4.99 versus $5.95 last month. Definitely in dumps, but APE’s price has fluctuated sharply over the month, arriving on June 28 at $5.49, the same day that Nguyen showed with photos and video that the NFT restaurant was still accepting cryptocurrencies. 

In the last month of Bitcoin (BTC), on the other hand, the price has dropped from $30,200 to the current $21,609, touching lows of $17,700. 

News is currently circulating that the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC)-themed restaurant, Bored and Hungry, would no longer accept cryptocurrency payments. Well, it appears that this is fake news.

ApeCoin and Ethereum are still accepted at Bored and Hungry

Last week, the LA Times newspaper had reported that the Long Beach fast food restaurant had stopped accepting ApeCoin and Ethereum as payment methods because of the Bear Phase market.

Yet, what seems actually obvious is that this was fake news. In fact, Andy Nguyen, an entrepreneur who founded Bored and Hungry, explained on Twitter that the restaurant has always continued and will continue to accept the two cryptocurrencies:

Lmao! Fake news! Why on earth would we stop accepting crypto at @BoredNHngry ? We would just adjust the crypto pricing to match usd. We still and always will accept ETH & ApeCoin at our store https://t.co/71qZaNm6YP

And not only that, Andy explained that he also accepted cryptocurrencies at the booth they had during the NFT.NYC conference held a few days ago in New York.

And we were accepting crypto during ApeFest for 3 of our brands.. with our new upgraded system… chill on the click bait media pic.twitter.com/StHnRS5wyH

Here’s also a video evidence of crypto payments still active:

Anyway, the fake news regarding Bored and Hungry would stem from the fact that during a visit of the LA Times reporter to the restaurant, crypto payments had been temporarily suspended due to a technical problem. This version of events was confirmed by co-founder Kevin Seo.

Bored Apes and the latest news about the NFT project

Just a couple of days ago the single by rappers Snoop Dogg and Eminem had been released with a tribute to the famous NFT collection. 

Last December, Eminem had spent $425,000 to obtain a Non-Fungible Token from the Bored Apes series, now dubbed the “Eminem Ape.” 

And Snoop Dogg, who already has several Bored Apes, is also reportedly planning to launch his own themed restaurant in Los Angeles, as tweeted by Andy The Nguyen.

Never in my life would I imagine having @SnoopDogg as our business partner. As we’ve got a lot of ideas in the tank, that we’re working to bring to life. And just so you know, he’s very involved in the entire process of what we’re developing. pic.twitter.com/iFDqVIH7Jf
