The "cryptocurrency saga" seems to have continued longer than a “bubble” usually does. With its wide acceptance around the world lately, theater chain AMC is jumping on the cryptocurrency bandwagon as it announced that it would be rolling out a technology that will allow moviegoers in the US to pay for tickets and snacks by the end of this year.

As of now, this move will allow customers to purchase tickets using Bitcoin in all AMC theaters. CEO of AMC Adam Aron has stated that since the company is already doing IT programming to start accepting Bitcoin, they are also including codes to accept Apple Pay and Google Pay for online purchases at the theaters in the US.

Investors obviously rejoiced at this news. With that announcement, AMC shares also seem to have jumped 5.3%. As cryptocurrencies become more popular day by day, companies worldwide are looking to incorporate them into their businesses.
