from the stop-mousing-around dept.

It all started with a random tweet that compares Chuck E. Cheese tokens and Bitcoin. The mouse-in-chief (or whoever controls its account) decided to join the fray with a bitter tweet that eventually went semi-viral.

[...] Multiple arguments went into play — from the BTC price that recently breached $10,000 once again to coin's 24/7 availability (Chuck E. Cheese cannot relate).

[...] It's not exactly clear what Chuck E. Cheese was trying to achieve with this tweet, but it definitely got what it desperately needed — media attention.

Multiple outlets, including the Wall Street Journal, have already covered what can be considered one of the strangest Bitcoin debates you will ever see on Twitter.

Chuck E Cheese tokens are cool and all but I'd rather earn Bitcoin

    Worse yet, we could honestly, realistically, non-jokingly, expect the President of The United States of America to weigh in on the matter using the exact same anti-social media platform.

    The future is stupid.
