      Well.

      Step one. Bitcoin gets emoji.
      Step two. Young people and other folks with fragile minds think it’s legit because it has an emoji.
      Step three. Poor people lose their money.
      Outcome: The rich get rich, the poor stay poor.

      Alternatively: Step one. Bitcoin gets emoji.
      Step two. Young people and other folks with fragile minds think it’s legit because it has an emoji.
      Step three. Crypto currencies keep burning through resources as if it was a Brazilian rainforest.
      Outcome: The few lucky ones will feel really stupid living in their bunkers after the collapse.

        🤯: me when ☦️, ☪️, ☯️, ☸️, ✝️, 🕉️, ✡️ all have emojis making each one legitimate.

        They’re stupid internet pictures people aren’t going to make financial decisions off of them.

          I don’t think emojis should be the place to have a socio-political discussion.

          have some entirely non-political emojis:

          🗳️: BALLOT BOX WITH BALLOT

          🇹🇼: FLAG: TAIWAN

          🇵🇸: FLAG: PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES

          🗽: STATUE OF LIBERTY

          🤡: FACE OF “NON-POLITICAL” PERSON

              When does it just become free advertising though? Should McDonald’s get an arches emoji?

          If scientology had an emoji then the comparison would be apt.

        There is a wine emoji… There is a cigarette emoji…

        People with fragile mind could think that it’s perfectly healthy to consume that stuff…

        There is even a bomb emoji… People with fragile mind could…

      There’s people out there that don’t think emojis are as stupid as Bitcoin. Or maybe it’s the other way around. Either way, there’s some people out there and they’re wrong.
