Crypto superfans including Elon Musk and El Salvador’s president are using McDonald’s to mock bitcoin’s dramatic crash

Bitcoin, Ether, and other major cryptocurrencies took serious losses over the past week, and the crypto community is dealing with it the way it knows best: with memes.

A series of memes on Twitter this week revived a long-running joke in crypto circles that when crypto prices drop, traders have to get a real job to make ends meet. The go-to real job: flipping burgers at McDonald’s.

Crypto superfans like Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, and billionaire Elon Musk have jumped onto the trend. Bukele tweeted a photo of himself wearing a McDonald’s hat and nametag.
