35 crypto companies got together to make a change dot org petition called “Bitcoin Deserves an Emoji”.
F that
Short reminder that Bitcoin was created as a reaction on the world finance crisis and to allow people like Assange to receive donations, because PayPal and similar just blocked them…
That does not mean that Botcoin is perfect, but: If the alternative system was perfect, there was not bitcoin.
Now, do we need an emoji? I don’t care TBH…
No! Bitcoin is a scam created by scammers! Don’t look at state currencies!!! \s
This is like saying “laws aren’t always enforced equally, so we should have no laws whatsoever”. Bitcoin is not a helpful response.
I think, whether it’s helpful is an individual decision. E.g. for people in Turkey, it’s a lot more stable than their own currency. Same logic for probably dozens of other countries…
Maybe, it’s not useful for you, but that’s OK. No one is trying to replace your currency with it and force you to use it.
Bitcoin’s “value” in USD terms has dropped ~20% in the last few days, so I’m not sure we can call it ‘stable’
In 1998 the USD fell like 20% vs the yen, currencies don’t always stay the same value vs. other currencies
Bitcoin regularly loses 85% of its “value” vs USD
85%
This has happened multiple times
The swings were bigger when the market cap was smaller, this is usually the case. The market cap of the yen is much bigger still.
Turns out you’re right, BTC price only went down 77% from the 2021 peak, my mistake /s
Turkey’s currency dropped 83% in the last 5 years and 94% in 10 years (per USD). And by the way: It dropped and did not rise the same amount ever again…
Why can’t we just agree that different people might have different views whether it’s useful for them?
Is it more stable compared to USD? No. Is it more stable compared to dozens of other currencies? Yes.
I think, there are very good arguments against BTC, for example the energy consunption… But whether it’s too risky for you or not… That’s highly subjective IMO. There is no country on this planet with only BTC as official currency. So, no one is forced to hold 100% of their total money in BTC.
So the argument is no longer “Bitcoin provides stability” or whatever, but instead is, “it’s no more unstable than the world’s most unstable national currency”?
If boobs don’t have their emoji, bitcoin doesn’t deserve it either!
Suggestion: We do with the Bitcoin emoji what people did with the eggplant emoji. The B stands for butthole. So now we can do [eggplant emoji] [bitcoin emoji].
I’m sure the TOTALLY NOT HOMOPHOBIC tech bros will love it.
Have you checked your =B=?
We must do this if it happens.
Cryptocurrency is speedrunning ruining everything. We might as well have a laugh at the cryptobros’ expense in the meantime.
I would rather point my finger at wall street or financial institutions not at the tools that offers a viable option to avoid these

Proprietary money is a scam.
How is it like to have nothing going on in your life so you create a petition about emojis?
Uh oh guys, we got a salty bag holder 😂

I couldn’t disagree more, emojis are amazing. They bring life to conversation, they help convey emotions, and they can be fun !
Have you ever had an autism evaluation? Emojis are indispensable to convey context and mood to text.
this dude don’t know what 🚶🏠⛈️🚗🚫 means 🤣
I think I should post a 1000 word essay about why I dislike the merman emoji.
Lack of emojis and also having an emoji are both good for bitcoin.
Being stupid is good for bitcoin too, probably.
Stupid indeed.
Woah way too many emojis already!

Does anyone remember when one of Maine’s US Senators lobbied Unicode to create a lobster emoji?
