The Laser Eyes meme is all about switching up your profile pic or avatar online, like on your socials, to rock some sick laser eyes. 😎
Laser eyes totally blew up during Bitcoin and crypto's lit bull run in early 2021. 🚀✨
Back then, Bitcoin and a whole lineup of cryptos were hitting insane all-time highs. 📈💸
Crypto hype was going wild, fam, as basically every crypto price just kept shootin' up, smashing through records like it was nothing. 🏆🔥
The demand for crypto was straight-up bonkers. 🤯💰
The whole crypto squad, especially the Bitcoin stans, wanted to flex some major support for their fave crypto as it zoomed to new peaks. 🚀👀
A bunch of Bitcoin peeps thought it'd be hella cool to slap laser beams and laser eyes onto friends’ avatars, hoping to get the whole crypto fam to skyrocket bitcoin’s price to the big $100k. 💥👾
Laser eyes became the vibe, a sign of mad hype and squad goals on the way to that elusive price dream. 🌈✨
It caught fire, with celebs, pro athletes, politicians, business bosses, and CEOs all getting in on the action. 🔥🤩
The laser eyes trend totally owned it, with big names like Michael Saylor, Elon Musk, the prez of El Salvador, NFL superstar Tom Brady, Paris Hilton, and even U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis all flipping their avatars with laser eyes. 😍🔫
Some market peeps have thrown shade at celebs flashing laser eyes 'cause they're promoting (or shilling!) different crypto trading spots and their own crypto stuff. 🤨🤑
For some, the OG vibe of the meme is kinda lost and is just used for clout now. 🤷♂️
Let's just say the meme's got layers, only known to the ones using it as laser eyes have gone mainstream. 🕶️✨
We're totally vibing with it! 🎉
