It became known how the US President accidentally supported the bitcoin cryptocurrency
U.S. President Joe Biden posted a photo on his page on the X platform (formerly Twitter) with «laser eyes,» a symbol of cryptocurrency community supporters. Users took this post as support for BTC $74,969.28 Bitcoin 0.72% Market capitalization $1.48 trillion VOL. 24 hours $3.72 billion .
Crypto Laser Eyes is a meme popular in the crypto community. Previously, representatives of the crypto industry used to put a photo with laser eyes on their avatars. In this way, they informed their audience about their belief in the growth of bitcoin to $ 100,000. Over time, «laser eyes» became a common symbol of cryptocurrency supporters. Usually, such an avatar indicates the profile owner’s interest in cryptocurrencies and his or her belief in the power of bitcoin.
Biden’s post, published on February 12, surprised users, who saw it as a hint of the politician’s interest in digital assets and support for bitcoin. «Are we replacing the dollar with bitcoin?» — asked David Gokhshtein, a well-known crypto enthusiast and founder of Gokhshtein Media.
Justin Sun, founder of the Tron crypto project, suggested that the US president was hinting at future news related to bitcoin. Fox News journalist Eleanor Terrett, in turn, asked if Biden was trying to lure supporters of digital assets to his side.
However, in fact, the politician supported a joke theory about the existence of his alter ego, Dark Brandon. On the eve of the Super Bowl 2024, a joke went viral online that the results would be rigged so that the team of singer Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelsey would win. In this case, the pop superstar, according to the authors of the theory, will be able to support Biden in the presidential race.
