Noting that dogecoin is \u201ca medium that can be used for the acquisition of goods and services,\u201d he said:<\/p>\n<p>The community for doge is the strongest when it comes to using it as a medium of exchange.<\/p>\n<p>Replying to Cuban\u2019s comment about dogecoin, Musk, who is sometimes known as the Dogefather, tweeted: \u201cI\u2019ve been saying this for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>In July, Musk <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/elon-musk-support-dogecoin-profile-picture-doge-trading-volumes-jumped-1250-in-q2\/\">reaffirmed<\/a> his support for dogecoin by changing his profile picture to include an image of the Shiba Inu dog that represents Doge. The Tesla <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/elon-musk-technoking-of-tesla-master-of-coin-cfo-zach-kirkhorn\/\">technoking<\/a> recently confirmed that he owns and <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/elon-musk-wont-sell-dogecoin-ultimate-hodler\/\">will not sell<\/a> his dogecoin. His baby son, X \u00c6 A-12, also owns some DOGE. Moreover, Musk has also been pushing for <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/elon-musk-doubles-down-on-dogecoin-tweets-about-ideal-improvements\/\">Doge improvements<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Cuban\u2019s Mavericks started accepting dogecoin in March. Since then, the Shark Tank star has revealed that \u201csubstantial sales\u201d have been made with DOGE. He even urged popular talk show host <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/ellen-degeneres-cryptocurrency-mark-cuban-accept-dogecoin\/\">Ellen Degeneres<\/a> to accept it at her shop.<\/p>\n<p>To encourage the use of dogecoin for payments further, Cuban <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mcuban\/status\/1426029215292530692\">tweeted<\/a> Thursday that the Mavericks will make a special announcement about dogecoin. He called it \u201ca summer merch sale with special pricing for those who pay with dogecoin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- growjs zone placement 31 -->    <!-- end of growjs zone placement --> <\/p>\n<p>Some people disagree with Cuban and Musk on the merit of dogecoin, emphasizing that the meme crypto has an <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GoingParabolic\/status\/1426600841650319367\">infinite<\/a> supply. However, the infinite supply argument did not lessen Cuban\u2019s enthusiasm for Doge.<\/p>\n<p>Cuban\u2019s co-star on Shark Tank, Kevin O\u2019Leary, however, is among those who are not so keen on the meme cryptocurrency. He recently <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/shark-tanks-kevin-oleary-invest-dogecoin\/\">said<\/a> he would not invest in dogecoin. \u201cI don\u2019t understand why anybody would.\u201d O\u2019Leary added: \u201cWhen you speculate on something like dogecoin, that\u2019s no different than going to Las Vegas and putting your money on red or black. It\u2019s pure speculation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A recent survey by Finder showed that a panel of experts expect <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/finders-experts-predict-dogecoin-price-should-hit-1-21-by-2025-and-3-60-by-2030\/\">the price of dogecoin<\/a> to hit $1.21 by 2025 and $3.60 by 2030.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Do you agree with Elon Musk and Mark Cuban about dogecoin?
