Bitcoin Price Decline Sparks Meme Culture

Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor has posted an AI-generated image of himself in a McDonald’s uniform frying French fries, paired with the caption “Will work for Bitcoin.”

The image has gone viral on social media, and Peter Schiff has quipped that it represents HODLers’ grim future.

That’s actually a good representation of what Bitcoin HODLers can expect in the future.

This comes after Bitcoin’s price drop to around $90,000 from its October all-time high of $126,000.

A Recurring Meme Theme

Saylor has a recurring habit of leaning into McDonald’s-themed memes during Bitcoin market downturns. He often uses AI-generated or edited images of himself in McDonald’s gear.

The meme theme exploded during the 2022 crypto crash. Amid a sharp Bitcoin drop in January 2022, McDonald’s official account tweeted a sarcastic comment about crypto enthusiasts. This sparked jokes about broke investors working there.

In a self-deprecating fashion, Saylor responded with an edited photo of himself wearing a McDonald’s cap, paired with the caption “Doin’ whatever it takes to acquire more Bitcoin…”

After Bitcoin fell further (testing $32,000 support), Saylor posted a meme of himself behind the McDonald’s counter, captioned “Monday morning is time to get back to work.”

Schiff’s Skepticism on Bitcoin’s Future

Peter Schiff continues to express bearish views on Bitcoin, noting that gold has vastly outperformed it in 2025.

Schiff confidently states that Bitcoin will never be money.

“Gold didn’t fail as money, the people failed to demand that governments continue to use it as money. Prior to that gold success as money for thousands of years Bitcoin has never been money and never will be,” he said.

The contrast between Saylor’s optimistic humor and Schiff’s fundamental skepticism reflects the ongoing debate within the crypto community about Bitcoin’s long-term viability as a store of value and medium of exchange.
