Emojis should be purely generic, and not represent an individual product or service.

No apple logo. No BMW logo. Generic.

Imagine if every brand had a fucking emoji, what a wasteland that would be. And then in years to come the unicode character space is littered with dead brands that have gone the way of the dinosaur but still living on in emoji form like digital trash, because emoji are permanent. There's no taking it out once it's made.

So I'd support an emoji to represent the notion of 'digital currency' but it should be generic, not Bitcoin.

There are some brand emojis in the Private Use Area, such as the Apple Logo and Twitter Logo, but they're not a part of the standard and thus aren't included in most fonts. Only Apple users can see this: 

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] 17 points 3 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.

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

Nice.

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"
