The ‘laser eyes’ meme has picked up in crypto circles on social media, attracting celebrities and Bitcoin proponents alike. But even politicians seem to be cashing in on the hype.
Laser eyes
A Dutch politician is now using a popular meme that’s been doing the rounds in crypto circles in the past few weeks. He joins a small list of political types to have cashed in on the meme’s popularity.
Robert Valentine, the party leader of the Libertarian Party of Netherlands, put up the billboard in the country as a move that pays homage to Bitcoin’s decentralized, libertarian ethos. Loosely translated, the billboard reads, “You’d just stand with your head on a pair of billboards measuring 13 by 10 meters,” with another line stating the asset is “the future.”
One follower asked in the tweet’s comments about what did Bitcoin have to do with Valentine’s candidature at all, to which the latter noted, “Blockchain is libertarian to the core. A digital decentralized way to bypass power.”
