McDonald’s is Hosting a Crypto Campaign
2During the recent crypto market crisis, crypto traders began spreading memes about gaining employment at McDonald’s. With notable figures in the crypto world joining in on the joke, including El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor, and others.
In fact, the corporation swiftly acknowledged this development in the crypto world. The corporation tweeted an inquiry about the state of the crypto community.
Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, joined the conversation on Twitter, saying he would consume a McDonald’s Happy Meal while watching TV if the establishment started taking Doge as a method of payment.
The eatery, on the other hand, said it would only accept the coin if Musk’s Tesla accepted “Grimacecoin.”
