Why McDonalds?

McDonalds has long been a subject of memes for crypto Twitter mostly whenever a bearish session hits. Crypto memes like to present McDonalds as a back up option if anything goes south hill in their crypto careers. But, there is another reason for risen interest in McDonald’s crypto appeal and the below tweet shows that clearly.

McDonald’s recently took a jibe at Crypto influencers amid the ongoing crypto crash. This can be seen as a result of so many crypto memes targeting McDonald’s as an inferior job option.

At the end of the day this visibility in crypto space will really help McDonald’s push their NFT narrative. Yes, McDonald’s like many other brands have shown keen interest in NFT space. Earlier in Nov, 2021 McDonald’s released an exclusive 10 NFT McRib collection at OpenSea to mark the 40th anniversary.
