Who gives an actual fuck?

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.

I don’t think emojis should be the place to have a socio-political discussion. Emojis should reflect how people popularly communicate. If Christianity gets to have a cross emoji (which is a torture device, let’s remember), then so should Bitcoin. And I don’t even like either!

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

Good for you. That’s a red herring, but just to be clear: did you miss the part where I said that emojis should represent what people think or talk about? All those examples you put are exactly what I meant.

BACK to the fucking discussion: You’re proving my point that the emoji bitcoin should then be included. Because a large group of people talk about it, in pro- or against.
