“Is this a Bitcoin ad?” Astonishing Joe Biden’s Coffee Mug Video Promotes BTC August 3rd

Joe Biden’s most recent social media post has received praise from cryptocurrency fans for what they claim to be an inadvertently endorsing Bitcoin.

Joe Biden, the president of the United States, may have unintentionally become the newest brand ambassador for BTC in a recent “cringe” video promoting goods for his reelection campaign.

President Biden tweeted on August 3: “A cup of Joe never tasted better” coupled with a video of him sipping coffee from a mug.

The coffee mug’s design, which shows his face with blazing red “laser eyes”—a popular touch for BTC aficionados when customizing their profile pictures—was quickly picked up on by the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency community.

Although the meme’s beginnings are obscure, the laser eyes craze began as part of a social media campaign to raise Bitcoin’s price to $100,000 by the end of 2021, a target that was unsuccessfully achieved. Once upon a time, the most well-known laser-eyed individuals included Elon Musk, Paris Hilton, and NFL star Tom Brady.

Typically, it serves as a visual cue to express their bullish stance on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general.

The crypto community has responded to Biden’s post in droves, both happy and amused by the obvious error.

“Joe Biden is a Bitcoin maxi now. Laser eyes and everything. Haters in disbelief,” declared one user.

Another said that Biden was attempting to “win over Bitcoin maxis,” according to Bitcoin history.

The community has condemned the Biden administration for its unwelcoming approach towards cryptocurrencies, which includes contentious tax ideas for those who mine digital assets and other “anti-crypto” political initiatives. Therefore, it is improbable that the coffee mug’s design was a nod to Bitcoin.

The name of the coffee mug is a play on “Dark Brandon,” Biden’s internet alter ego that is based on memes. The Dark Brandon meme, which portrays Biden as darker and edgier, is frequently utilized by his supporters to highlight his achievements in terms of policy.
