On the evening of June 22, Beijing time, Bitcoin fell below $30,000, hitting a new low in nearly five months.

Physical pain can be relieved through medical treatment, and the pain experienced can be alleviated through meditation. But for people in the cryptocurrency circle, they choose to embrace memes and use emoticons to find joy in suffering.

In April this year, the price of Bitcoin once soared to a record high of $63,498. Now it seems difficult to "go back to the past". At present, most people have expressed bearish sentiment on the digital currency market, and Bitcoin is the first to bear the brunt. In such a market atmosphere, people in the cryptocurrency circle began to get comfort from meme games and emoticons.

Next, let’s take a look at the interesting memes that appeared in the crypto community last night.

Nathaniel Whittemore, founder of digital currency content marketing company NLW&CO, complained on Twitter: "America has bailouts, we have emojis," and attached a picture of a "bald man in anger."

MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor led his cloud software company to buy $2.7 billion of Bitcoin in the past year, but the recent market decline seems to have caused him huge losses. In a meme featuring Michael Saylor, he wears a McDonald's hat and shirt, suggesting that if the price drops further, he will have to work in a fast food restaurant.

Ryan Watkins, head of research at blockchain analysis company Messari, also designed an interesting dialogue scenario for this emoticon:

Michael Saylor: “Bitcoin is a network that serves the goddess of wisdom. Feeding on the fire of truth, crypto energy will grow exponentially and become smarter, faster, and more powerful!”

Customer: "By the way...can I get a Big Mac with fries?"

Another person who hinted at working at McDonald's was crypto community opinion leader @CO฿IE, who also shared his McDonald's job application with other crypto communities.

Ameer Rosic, founder of Multiple, also "Photoshopped" a picture from McDonald's official Twitter account, which said that McDonald's was "specially recruiting" unemployed people in the cryptocurrency circle to work. This is similar to the funny emoticons in China that describe miners delivering food to Meituan and Ele.me.

The Indian crypto community also contributed some funny memes during this market crash. For example, front-end engineer Shubham Khatri made fun of Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars, as shown in the picture below. The dialogue:

Skywalker: I invested in Bitcoin.

Padmé Amidala (Skywalker's wife): Made a lot of money, right?

Skywalker: ...

Padmé Amidala: Made some money, huh...

The most interesting one is probably the following chart, which uses the heights of Yao Ming, O'Neal, and Kevin Hart to highlight the price trend of Bitcoin in April, May, and June. Uh...Judging from Kevin Hart's height, the drop in June was a bit big...

As long-time cryptocurrency investors will tell you, you have to “buy the dip.” As depicted in the following meme, the problem is that it’s hard to tell when prices have bottomed. (Investing! Who knew it could be so hard?)

So don’t worry, people in the cryptocurrency world, there are still ways out. Even if you lose everything, you can try making emoticons, or apply for a job at McDonald’s. It is said that the referral person can get a $400 bonus - in cash!
