After Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Dogecoin ($DOGE) co-creator, Billy Markus, pushed McDonald\u2019s to accept the meme-inspired cryptocurrency as a payment method, one of its rivals has said it will work on accepting DOGE if Musk does something for it.<\/p>\n
As CryptoGlobe reported, Musk said on social media he would eat a Happy Meal on TV if McDonald\u2019s accepted DOGE payments, in a push that saw several celebrities join in. In response, McDonald\u2019s jokingly said Tesla would have to first accept \u201cgrimacecoin\u201d first, a move that led to several fake grimacecoins seeing price explosions.<\/p>\n
Rival fast-food chain MrBeast Burger, an American delivery-only fast-food chain founded by internet personality Jimmy Donaldson (AKA MrBeast), has tweeted at Elon Musk saying it will \u201cwork on\u201d accepting $DOGE if it gets a retweet.<\/p>\n
MrBeast Burger\u2019s tweet received a lot of attention, with Dogecoin supporters rallying to push the fast-food chain to accept payments in the cryptocurrency even if Elon Musk did not retweet it.<\/p>\n
Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus retweeted saying that while he isn\u2019t Musk he would still retweet, and added that DOGE supporters could still give the company \u201call the engagement and press they need.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another McDonald\u2019s rival, Burger King, also stole some attention by replying to Musk saying \u201conly a king knows what da coin do,\u201d which to some suggested the fast-food chain is also considering accepting DOGE payments.<\/p>\n
Burger King, it\u2019s worth noting, hasn\u2019t commented on whether or not it\u2019s looking to accept Dogecoin as a payment method but has been interacting with the cryptocurrency\u2019s community.<\/p>\n
Dogecoin was created back in 2013 as a joke. The cryptocurrency\u2019s community is well-known for taking on\u00a0philanthropic projects, which included helping charitable organizations.<\/p>\n
It\u00a0made headlines\u00a0in 2014 after raising more than $25,000 worth of DOGE to let the Jamaican bobsleigh team attend the Winter Olympics in Sochi.<\/p>\n
