Elon Musk's tweet to McDonald's
Via Twitter @elonmusk out of nowhere, and in the early hours of Tuesday, he comments: "I will eat a Happy Meal on television if McDonald's accepts Dogecoin as a payment method"
The magical happy meal that has already been part of the childhood of millions of children around the world.
This is a clear business proposition, very attractive to the fast food empire, which has the opportunity for the richest man in the world to increase its sales.
To date, the tweet has a total of 30.2 K comments, 66.8 K shares, 410.5 K likes.
Community support
After Musk's comment on his social network profile, thousands of users were quick to support his idea, which made the possibility of McDonald's accepting Dogecoins to buy their products go viral.
What brought thousands of tweets from people around the world who promise to eat more often at McDonald's, if the proposal is accepted by the great hamburger.
Which also caused DOGE to surge in value to 20% of its previous price, just a few hours later. Although at this time it went down again.
But such a stir was made that the fast food company was pushed to respond to Elon Musk's tweet last Thursday.
McDonald's places a small condition
The Ronald McDonald's company has said yes to Elon Musk, and it was just what was expected in the face of such a round deal that the tycoon announced, being an advertisement for this type.
What was not expected, not even from a strong hallucination, was that McDonald's placed such a sudden condition.
Textually the fast food company posted a short message in response: "Only if Tesla accepts Grimacecoin"
While attaching a photo of the representation of his legendary purple character, in the form of a coin of the same color.
Who is Grimace?
It is a character made of a very garish color, in the form of modeling dough, large and heavy. Which appeared in McDonald's advertising from shortly after the company became so famous.
This character was canceled for scaring away, due to its shape, children who were looking for their Happy Meal and milkshakes.
To date they have placed him more peaceful and with a much more adorable image.
What prompted the McDonald's response
This was really a joking retort, but it generated a movement in the market where the virtual token was conceived, just like the image that McDonald's uploaded in its tweet.
To this day it can be found on the largest exchange platform, Binance Smart Chain. You just have to enter the search engine of the exchange network and write "GrimaceCoin".
According to statistics provided, the currency rose by 6000% in a short time after its creation. Said publication was extremely fast.
In just one hour the meme cryptocurrency appeared as a BEP-20 on the Ethereum network.
The Twitter account created
After the rapid rise of GimaceCoin, a GimaceCoin Twitter account was created to issue event announcements regarding the token.
McDonald's also gave an apparent message about this event: "How are the people who manage cryptocurrency social media accounts?".
Continuing with the joking atmosphere that was generated from his response to Elon Musk's proposal.
Right now both GrimaceCoin and Dogecoin remain depressed in price after just a few hours of publicity and free push.
