“How are you, people who run crypto accounts on Twitter,” wrote representatives of McDonald’s.

In response, the bitcoin exchange Binance posted a meme, and MicroStrategy chief Michael Saylor posted a photo of himself wearing a McDonald’s cap. Earlier he made a similar post , but with the logo of the Tahinis network.

Elon Musk did not miss the opportunity to mention his favourite cryptocurrency. He promised to eat a Happy Meal on television if McDonald’s starts accepting Dogecoin.

On January 21, the price of the first cryptocurrency at one point fell below $37,700 , down to $34,000 on Saturday. The last BTC plunged on January 24, but later recovered and surpassed the $36,400 mark.

Some saw in Bitcoin’s price movement a pattern reminiscent of McDonald’s logo, while others imagined famous supporters of the first cryptocurrency.

On January 23, a Twitter account account Mcdonald’s Job Application, linked to a profile on the OpenSea marketplace. Its owner listed 1,111 job-application statements as NFTs at a price of 0.0389 ETH each (~$94 at the time of writing).

“ETH is falling? Living is no longer affordable? We are waiting for you! Apply for your dream job from 9 to 5 at McDonald’s through our form,” the account description says.

Not to be left out, El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele also weighed in. He changed his Twitter avatar, adding a McDonald’s cap and badge to his photo.

Against the backdrop of the Bitcoin correction, the country’s government bought 410 BTC for $15 million. The average purchase price was $36,585. With this latest move, the Salvadoran state fund holds 1,651 BTC.

On January 24, Bukele said that “the safest and most profitable moment to buy Bitcoin is when the price is going down.”

Most people go in when the price is up, but the safest and most profitable moment to buy is when the price is down. It’s not rocket science 🤷🏻‍♂️

So invest a piece of your McDonald’s paycheck in #Bitcoin

“So invest a portion of your McDonald’s paycheck in Bitcoin. And now go back to flipping more burgers, you lazy fvçk,” the president wrote.

Reddit users, by contrast, chose to support one another. One posted a photo of Baron Rothschild with his quote: “Buy when there is blood in the streets, even if it’s your own.”

Earlier, Invesco allowed a drop below $30,000 in 2022, as ‘the asset bubble deflates’.

In April, analysts at Glassnode saw in the record drop since July 2021 and the hodlers’ steadfastness the onset of a bear trend in Bitcoin’s price.
