Why on earth an emoji anyway? $, €, £ and ¥ aren't emoji either.

And now that I look, Unicode already has ₿ (U+20BF BITCOIN SIGN). Just use that. Or better yet, don't.

o really? 💵💶💴💷

but seeing these are physical representation of those currencies.. bitcoin's emoji can be a usb stick (at least having an actual USB stick emoji can be useful in some cases like when making guides)

a change.org petition, for or against bitcoin, is the perfect manifestation of bitcoin: entirely pointless

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago (13 children)

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.

Bitcoin has an emoji but moths don't... Wtf

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

Easier to distinguish between people who want to establish a patriarchal white ethno-state, and people who just like ancient Greek sculpture

Nice.

crime coin should be banned since its only use case is illegal activity

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ban cash then! BTC isnt a holy grail but a deregulated international currency isnt a bad idea

edit: how dare you downvote my surely good points that bitcoins are worthy of not just an emoji but a nobel prize!!!!!

adding this to your post will get you laughed at and then banned

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Bitcoin is stupid and therefore deserves an emoji. It is not worthy of ascii-art. (_!_)

Edit , this shitty webpage doesn't support ascii-art. Re-edit, needed to add escape characters, true art is always born out of struggle.

On the one hand, Bitcoin as an emoji would be basically useless.

On the other hand, it could work as an easy shorthand for "scam"
