Steak ’n Shake Suspends ETH Poll, Declares Allegiance to Bitcoin; Vitalik Buterin Backs Decision

In a world where indecision reigns supreme, Steak ’n Shake decided to make a stand-albeit a swift one. The company, in the face of a mighty torrent of Bitcoin maximalist outrage, pulled the plug on its humble X poll. “Poll suspended. Our allegiance is with Bitcoiners. You have spoken. Who even allowed this? I’m back at my desk. – Steaktoshi,” they proudly declared. The suspense! The drama! 🥩

The move came hot on the heels of Steak ’n Shake’s bold foray into the land of ETH payments, where they had, for a brief moment, entertained the thought of embracing the coin of the Ethereum realm. They had even promised-oh, the audacity!-to abide by the results of the poll. Surely, they thought, the people would speak with wisdom. But alas, Bitcoiners had their say and the die was cast.

In a rare moment of cross-chain camaraderie, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin threw in his two satoshis to support Steak ’n Shake’s abrupt reversal, calling it “a good decision.” His words, dripping with sage advice, echoed across the cryptosphere: “Not every business should be trying to appeal to many customers as possible in the name of ‘not being maximalist.’ We need the stubborn ones who believe in their cause and their tribe and see their work as a labor of love to it.” A true tribal leader, Vitalik’s wisdom shines through-because, you know, Ethereum and Bitcoin maximalism are exactly the same thing, right? 😂
