Biden’s Laser Eyes
While the caption, “just like we drew it up,” clearly referenced the Kansas City Chiefs’ super win, the “laser eyes” detail held deeper meaning for crypto enthusiasts. This visual originated from a 2021 social media campaign aiming to propel Bitcoin’s price to $100,000. Though the target wasn’t reached, prominent figures like Tom Brady and Elon Musk sported laser eyes, solidifying the image as a crypto meme.

Now, with Biden adopting the same symbol, interpretations flew. Some saw it as a playful nod to the “Dark Brandon” meme, an online persona portraying Biden as a decisive leader. Others, like crypto influencer Bankless, saw a potential impact on the ETH/BTC chart, while user WhalePanda felt it was cultural appropriation.
Regardless of intent, the post ignited online chatter. Did Biden accidentally endorse Bitcoin? Was it a calculated move targeting crypto bros? While the answer remains unclear, one thing’s for sure: the “laser eyes” incident proves the ever-blurring lines between politics, pop culture, and the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency.
