In plain English
A social media trend of adding glowing red laser eyes to profile pictures to show Bitcoin optimism.
Laser eyes took over crypto social media in 2021: fans edited glowing red beams onto their profile pictures as a show of faith that bitcoin would hit $100,000. Celebrities, politicians and companies joined in.
It became a badge of tribe membership, the kind of crowd signal that tends to peak near the top of a hype cycle. Bitcoin did eventually pass that level years later, in late 2024, but not before a long, painful slide in between.
