Top Highlights

  • A special Bitcoin emoji tied to a hashtag has been removed from the social media platform just as the world’s biggest crypto conference, Bitcoin 2024, kicks off in Nashville. But it appears to be part of a broader move to get away from what Musk recently described as "special hashtags."
  • On top of that, presidential hopeful and recent Bitcoin advocate Donald Trump’s enduring campaign slogan—MAGA (Make America Great Again)—also no longer automatically produces an emoji of the ex-U.S. leader when typed. That one had apparently been part of a paid campaign.
  • Twitter is particularly popular with the crypto community, as “Crypto Twitter”
  • meeting place for the global industry
  • Nashville likewise appeared unfazed. “It’s nice [the emoji], sure, and it’s stupid it changed—but it doesn’t matter,” one Bitcoiner
