Ha HAAAAAAA HAAAAAA!!!!!

Ohhhhh man. That's a good one. Sir Richard Branson, bagholder.  

Do you not understand he could buy up every single coin of every alt in the universe and it wouldn't put a statistically-verifiable dent in his net worth???

Thanks for the laugh Sputters. You canucks got one wicked sense of humor eh.

Yes. I think based on the interview he would gladly accept Dogecoin and/or Goldcoin for intergalactic flights. I will contact his offices tomorrow to confirm.  

hmm interesting !
I have used his name as an example constantly all over crypto..
as in let attract his type into this stuff with quality sincere honest projects vs "Doge Scheme" Coins and their Kiddiot supporters.
He can say what ever publicly about Doge but it may just because he is using it as a well known name brand example for the story
or hell he may be a huge bag holder but at the end of the day i know the man is not stupid..
he knows damn well Doge is a piece of shit clone coin.
And pieces of shit clone coins are NOT healthy for the general world wide altcoin scene.
At most they are a vehicle for profit.. a digital pyramid scheme of sorts that is attractive to malware coders and shady types wanting to make a buck.
What people say and what they do in the Altcoin world are two different things lol
Does he take Doge coin for Virgin Galactic ?
edit:
hmm BitPay ? maybe i don't know what that BitPay does really i guess i should check lol

Video Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzwTXZDSyHo

Billionaire Sir Richard Branson, chairman and founder of Virgin Group, said in an interview yesterday that he believes Bitcoin is working and predicted that altcoins could have an even brighter future.

"I think it is working, and there will be other currencies like it, maybe even better. But in the mean time there’s a big industry around Bitcoin."

Richard Branson is a public supporter of Bitcoin, and as reported in May, part of a group who recently invested $30 million in Atlanta payment service provider BitPay. Alternative currencies like Dogecoin (DOGE), and Goldcoin (GLD), work very much like the Bitcoin currency, only with new improvements over the original bitcoin code, which was abandoned by its founder Satoshi Nakamoto.

Nakamoto vanished with over 1 million bitcoins in early 2010 shortly after his protege Gavin Andersen informed him that he was going to Washington, DC to speak with the CIA. Since that time there has been widespread speculation on the identity of Nakamoto and when he’ll starting spending his massive bitcoin fortune.

Branson’s commercial space travel company Virgin Galactic uses BitPay to accept payments in bitcoins. In fact, Branson was introduced to BitPay after one of the startup’s seed investors approached the business magnate about accepting Bitcoin to book Virgin Galactic flights. Three flights have since been purchased using Bitcoin.
