Meme culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While there are plenty of memes <\/a>floating around to console crypto investors, some of the best are ones that subtly belittle the efforts of service staff at corporations like McDonald's who work nine to five jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These McDonald's memes will be familiar to anyone who has been following crypto for a long and is active on Crypto Twitter<\/a> or another crypto forum. In order to survive the gloomy market, most memes depicting the American fast-food chain claim that crypto traders will have to work or hunt for work at McDonald's if prices continue to fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, when the market meltdown in June of last year, one joke regarding McDonald's exchanging job applications with crypto speculators became an NFT<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Following<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The most recent McDonald's meme was created in support of El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele, who was dressed in a McDonald's staff outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McDonald's Job Application morphs into an NFT Collection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It's been precisely seven months since that meme began spreading around the cryptocurrency community<\/a>, and the market is once again bleeding. The bitcoin price has fallen by half from its all-time high, while the majority of other cryptocurrencies have suffered double-digit losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While crypto traders are counting their losses and hope for a resurgence in the market, someone has transformed McDonald's employee apps into a non-fungible token (NFT) collection and offered it on Opensea, demonstrating once again that anything can be tokenized and marketed as an NFT collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this collection, dubbed McDonald's Job Application, there are 1,111 application forms that people can use to get their ideal job at the fast-food corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To top it all off, the McDonald's Application NFT author wrote an amusing comic description for the collection, in which he poked fun at cryptobros:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cETH going down? Can\u2019t afford living? We got you! Apply now to your dream 9 to 5 McDonald\u2019s job with our application.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Nearly $40k of McDonald\u2019s Application NFTs Traded in 12 Hours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first 1,000 will be free to mint, according to the ambitious designer, while the rest 111 will cost 0.01 ETH <\/a>(about $25 at current pricing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, 460 McDonald's Application NFTs have been issued, with a floor price of 0.019 ETH ($47) on OpenSea<\/a>. Since becoming public around 12 hours ago, the collection has already generated a trading volume of 15.9 ETH ($40,000).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, it's worth noting that the McDonald's <\/a>Application NFT collection is purely satirical and not affiliated with the real McDonald's firm. The fast-food company, on the other hand, made its NFT debut last November when it issued the first-ever non-fungible token to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the McRib.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
