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.

They're all legitimate, doesn't make them factual.

There is also an emoji for thieves. A cute one, even. Will young people start living that thug life because of the emoji?
