Elon Musk urge McDonald's to accept dogecoin

In Brief:

  • Elon Musk proposed that he would eat a happy meal on TV if Dogecoin is accepted by McDonald’s.
  • The tweet pumped Dogecoin’s price from 0.136 to 0.15, approximately 11%.
  • In response, McDonald’s asked Tesla to accept grimacecoin.

Well, the Twitterati’s messiah, Elon Musk again created a Twitter storm by pitching Dogecoin to McDonald’s, pumping DOGE’s trading price to 0.15 from 0.136 accounting to a rise of 11%. Currently, at the time of writing, Doge is trading at 0.145. 

In a tweet, Elon Musk proposed that he would eat a happy meal on TV if Dogecoin is accepted by McDonald’s. The tweet has got over 51k retweets and 351k likes.

I will eat a happy meal on tv if @McDonalds accepts Dogecoin

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 25, 2022

To this, Dogecoin responded with a ‘curious’ gif. In a typical ‘reverse-uno’ style, Mcdonald’s replied that it would accept the offer if Tesla accepts grimacecoin. 

It is worth mentioning that just a few days ago, Tesla had announced that it will accept dogecoin payment for its merchandise. Consequently, Dogecoin showed a rising momentum and even hiked to nearly 20% with $0.215 which was the highest in the previous 30-days. 

Although it’s no surprise that Tesla decided to accept DOGE as Elon Musk has always been vocal about the memecoin, in fact, he even called Doge a better transactional coin than Bitcoin.
