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

    Wtf are you talking about? It isn't hard at all to cash out 100 btc... That's a trivial amount and you should be able to find an exchange that charges under 1% per trade. If you trade via the api the base fee is 0.1% at gemini https://gemini.com/api-fee-schedule/#api-fee-schedule [gemini.com]

    OK, so now he's converted his BTC into Gemini dollars. Then what? Is it something like:

    1. Mine BTC.
    2. Convert BTC to Gemini dollars.
    3. ????
    4. Profit!

      I presume the ???? bit is withdraw the money over a few days in up to 100k amounts from Gemini to a US bank of your choice?
