35 crypto companies got together to make a change dot org petition called “Bitcoin Deserves an Emoji”.
F that
If boobs don’t have their emoji, bitcoin doesn’t deserve it either!
This will likely be rejected for one the same reasons that they decided they would not add any new flag emojis. Flags come and go. Bitcoin hasn’t even been around for 20 years yet, and its future is highly uncertain.
Also, considered as a currency, it would be better as a regular text character, not an emoji. Like $, €, ¥, £, etc.
Technically, emoji doesn’t even have specific flags, they just have country codes, conforming to the ISO list - actually choosing which flags will be included is up to the individual implemeters. Regional flags got a little bit complicated because they need to establish the conventions first.
I actually don’t mind it being added as a text character because then I can actually use it. Using it as an emoji is useless to everyone other than the crypto bros that want to spam it on Twitter.
It already exists: ₿
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.
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.
Proprietary money is a scam.
Stupid indeed.
Lack of emojis and also having an emoji are both good for bitcoin.
Being stupid is good for bitcoin too, probably.
I think I should post a 1000 word essay about why I dislike the merman emoji.
₿uttcoin (( should have an emoji too then!
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 😂
They edited their post about an hour after you replied. Just a heads up.
Thanks. Although to be honest I’m not sure what their edit was - does Lemmy not have a way to view a post’s edit history?? Seems like a problem…
I don’t think so, presumably mods can.
Woah way too many emojis already!
😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣😂🙂😉😊😇🥰😍🤩😘😗😚😙😏
There’s an emoji for nonbinary zombie🧟
There’s an emoji for "I can’t get my map to fold back up"🗺️
There’s even an emoji for a pregnant super Saiyan I think🫄🏼But there’s no emoji for riding two giraffes at the same time, so hieroglyphics still wins 𓀬
Does anyone remember when one of Maine’s US Senators lobbied Unicode to create a lobster emoji?
If we’re not getting an asshole emoji this will suffice.
It’ll make it easier to filter out spam. If it contains this emoji, delete it.
