The poll followed outrage over doge's exclusion by AMC from the list of cryptocurrencies — bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin and bitcoin cash — it announced last month that it will accept for purchases by the end of the year. Doge is a meme coin created in 2013 as a satire of crypto coins. "It's clear that you think AMC should accept Dogecoin," Aron said in the post. "Now we need to figure out how to do that." Doge is accepted by a few companies including Mark Cuban's Dallas Mavericks and car dealer Post Oak Motor
