Laser Eyes Meme Gains Popularity
The 'Laser Eyes' meme began gaining popularity on Twitter, with Bitcoin proponents adding laser eyes to profile pictures to signal belief in $100,000 BTC.
The #LaserRayUntil100K profile-picture campaign spread across Bitcoin Twitter in mid-February, with participants adding glowing laser eyes as a public signal of bullish Bitcoin identity.
The event is retained as a recognizable cultural marker of the period. Its value is in reconstructing how Bitcoin and the wider digital-asset phenomenon were being discussed and experienced in 2021, without implying a protocol or legal effect that the event did not have.
