SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 28, 2024 / The Bay area's newest crypto happy hour, "Just Build," held at The Howard SF, 661 Howard Street in San Francisco, announced Tuesday night via a Twitter Space hosted by Boomer on Base, that it's accepting Boomer Coin - a Base meme coin - as a form of payment. This marks the first instance of any merchant, vendor, or establishment accepting a meme coin in exchange for products or services rendered, signaling a growing demand for payment alternatives in the market.
The Howard SF in San Francisco, a 20,000-square-foot premier event venue, has taken a giant leap forward in building credibility for crypto as legitimate currency with this move, while helping advance the shared mission of the Bay Area's tech and crypto communities. On Thursday, June 27th, The Howard SF not only accepted Boomer, but also retained BOOMER rather than convert it to USDC, making it a gesture of genuine support and commitment to the meme coin and Base communities.
"The Howard believes that a shift to a meme culture as it relates to payments is something people should take seriously", said Kevin Best, Owner of The Howard SF. "We don't want those coins converted to USDC. The primary driver to that is that we want to make sure that we're a part of the community. So if we're going to support the meme community, the meme culture, then we have to stand on that."
Petoshi, one of the original Boomer on Base community founders who's been at the helm of Boomer, was on hand in the Twitter Spaces to witness this watershed moment for the Community Take Over. "This is the first time that you can transact with a Base meme coin in real life with your Coinbase wallet, and the merchant will keep the meme coin as the native form of payment. This is history in the making," Petoshi said.
This moment isn't just big for Boomer-it's big for Coinbase's Base, the new Coinbase Smart Wallet that will help enable these historical-first transactions, and the meme coin space in general. It's also a huge step for all of crypto world. Starting to move the conversation from, "What is crypto?" to "What can I do with crypto?" is an incredible evolution for the space, the rate of which is accelerating with each passing day of this "Onchain Summer." Thanks to the impending explosive growth of Base, driven by unparalleled leadership from Coinbase, the unwavering support of pioneering merchants like the team at The Howard SF, and the unshakable belief of a not-so-little community takeover called Boomer On Base, crypto is truly starting to go places where it's never been before.
Meme coins IRL
This moment for Boomer Coin and Base represents an "in real life" (IRL) use-case for not just crypto, but meme coins generally; showing how a meme coin can be used like other forms of cryptocurrency for transactions in everyday life. Thanks to Coinbase and its pioneering Smart Wallet launched earlier this month, it's now easier than ever to exchange crypto as an asset sitting on your phone, for something that you can hold in your hands. Today, it's buying a beer with Boomer; tomorrow, it could be buying a hotdog at the baseball stadium or merch at a music festival.
For Boomer's part, this huge step is part of its mission and continued commitment to onboarding the next 10 million Boomers to crypto and Base safely, through education and the support of an unparalleled community of Boomers. It is a forerunner in providing a safe place for crypto newbies to come learn about crypto and hopefully avoid pitfalls in the early days of this new world.
