Chuck E. Cheese Mouse Gets Roasted by Cryptocurrency Enthusiasts

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

    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?
