While the cryptocurrency market is going through a very strong turbulence, there is a revival of well-known and by all means liked memes pointing to crypto investors abandoning their previous occupation in favor of working at McDonald’s. This time the popular fast-food restaurant joined the fun.
Already a tradition
Whether the crypto market is going up or going down sharply, memes about quitting or re-employing at McDonald’s are flooding Twitter. This time the fun was started by the author of the Stock to Flow Plan B model, who noticed a very interesting pattern on the chart, as if it was a prediction…

He was joined by Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, who suggested changing his profile picture. In the new one, he addresses the nation wearing a cap and shirt with the McDonald’s logo and a pin with his name on it.

Seeing so many signs, McDonald’s decided to join in the fun and posted a tweet asking “how are people who run cryptocurrency accounts on Twitter”. One of the most popular responses received was from MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor, which said: “Do whatever it takes to get more Bitcoin.” Of course, Saylor donned a McDonald’s hat when uttering them.

Among the celebrities, Elon Musk also made an appearance. He, in turn, indicated that he would eat a Happy Meal on TV if McDonald’s would accept payment in Dogecoin. He was promptly replied that it will happen when Tesla accepts payments in Grimacecoin.

The official Binance account also made its presence known by posting a smiling mask superimposed over an angry and crying face. A short time later, it received a response from McDonalds suggesting that all would be well.

The entertainment was particularly to the liking of Nayib Bukele, who created a poll on his profile asking if he should quit his job at McDonald’s to create a Bitcoin burger. The vast majority of those surveyed answered in the affirmative, yes. It’s hard to tell if McDonald’s was among them.
Should I quit my job at McDonald’s and open a #Bitcoin Burger joint?

It seems that while the crypto market is bleeding, employment at the popular fast-food chain is growing. We’re waiting for the situation to turn around and for McDonald’s to ask its employees not to quit. After all, we are all looking forward to a long green world.
