The ultimate memecoin Dogecoin started trending and mooning yesterday evening when it became apparent that Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and a major Dogecoin fan, was getting close to a deal to purchase the social media site Twitter.

Many Dogecoin enthusiasts believe that Musk will install a tip jar in Dogecoin or at least make the site more Dogecoin friendly. The number of Dogecoin and Elon tweets were numerous (and mostly funny).

Over in France, an apartment was being offered for rent, with the money payable in Ethereum. Le Figaro, one of France’s biggest newspapers, naturally had most of it’s coverage focusing on the Presidential Election this weekend. The choice between liberal Emmanuel Macron or rightwing Marine Le Pen filled most of the pages. However, in its real estate section there was something that struck the eye as well.

An announcement published this week on the social network site LinkedIn tried to make the case of apartments in Paris to be rented out in crypto currencies.

Not in the Metaverse

In France, despite their detractors (major French banks like Credit Agricole and BNP Paribas are clinging on to their monopolies in finance), an increasing number of cryptos are accepted in restaurants, cinemas, and now also in real estate.

It is a new kind of offer that has flourished on the LinkedIn social network this week, probably a first in France, at least one of the first of its kind. Entrepreneur Stephane Boukris announced that he is renting out a 60 square meter apartment located in the 16th arrondissement. The novelty does not lie in its 13 m2 terrace in the heart of Paris, but in the rental contract, payable in Ethereum.

And as the lessor specifies, it is indeed in Paris and not “in the metaverse”. Completely refurbished, this apartment can become your cozy nest for “only” 1 ETH per month.

So how much is that per square meter?
