U.S. President Joe Biden’s series of speeches and policies in recent years have been viewed by the community as hostile to cryptocurrencies. For example, the 2023 Presidential Economic Report of the White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) criticized the encryption ecosystem for causing harm and risks to consumers, the traditional financial system, and the environment.
Last year, the White House tried to impose a punitive energy tax of up to 30% of the electricity cost of cryptocurrency mining companies, triggering an industry backlash. Biden himself even threatened to crack down on tax evasion by cryptocurrency traders in his speech.
However, as the 2024 presidential election approaches, Biden, who is in a desperate situation, seems to be wooing young Americans who are friendly to cryptocurrency.
Biden wants to win over young people’s votes?
Biden posted a personal portrait with laser eyes on the X platform at noon today (12th), sparking discussion in the encrypted community. Some netizens commented on the post jokingly, “Bitcoin is about to replace the US dollar”, some people also asked Biden to take a napPull Bitcoin。

Last year, he showed off a laser eye mug
In fact, in August last year, Biden posted a video of himself holding a mug with a personal photo of “Laser Eyes” printed on it, with the year 2024 written around the mug.
Coincidentally, Bitcoin will be halved in 2024, so some netizens speculated that Biden’s move seems to be a subtle expression of support for Bitcoin; but some people think that Biden himself does not know what “laser eye” stands for. The real meaning is just the operation of the public relations team.
According to previous reports from Dongzhong, Laser Eye was combined with the hashtag #LaserRayUntil100K in the 2021 bull market to express optimism that Bitcoin has entered a “super strong mode” and will continue to surge to a price of US$100,000, although in the end this goal has not yet been reached. At that time, celebrities including Tesla founder Elon Musk, MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor, U.S. Senate Bitcoin warrior Cynthia Lummis… all replaced their head stickers with pictures of eyes emitting laser light.
