Hoping that he won't add those forks icon if they start to request for the same feature.

I doubt jack will allow shitcoin to do that. If other forks coin also has the same feature, again it will create confusion which has been done by Roger already. In that case, I will be hating Jack the most Angry

Yeap. Though not impossible, it's probably unlikely to happen. Jack Dorsey has been very public about him only owning bitcoin(BTC).

Checked it now by myself and it's amazing Cheesy

I think that's something beneficial toward achieving the goal of bitcoin as a currency.

Without a doubt, we will see that the adoption of Bitcoin is taking place in a great way, the incorporation of the emoji draws attention to people of all kinds, including companies and organizations worldwide, this does not go unnoticed, many may think that Twitter is only a social network that shares information, but goes much further, this is symbolic. In turn, I think that for many governments, banks and entities that are against bitcoin they should not like it at all, it is a fact.

good news, now you can also register a domain name with an emoji

I don't think so. It technically isn't officially an emoji(yet) because you can't copy paste it like how you can copy paste text. It just appears like an emoji on Twitter's side, but it's actually just an image icon. You can check yourself, you can right click on the Bitcoin "emoji" and view image: https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags/Bitcoin_2020/Bitcoin_2020.png

Totally love the BCH and BSV digs. I wonder if the Bitcoin handle is going to change things around now though.

BTW. How do you add the emoji? I still don't see it when I open a Tweet and add the hashtag. I see the new emojis but on almost every post, it doesn't appear. Also can't seem to do it on mine.

Just post it and it will be there automatically. It wouldn't show until you tweet/post it.

not sure in desktop or browser tho.

It wouldn't show while typing in the desktop version.
Jack should've added this earlier but even with this small update, this is huge for the community. Hoping that he won't add those forks icon if they start to request for the same feature.

Twitter has added the emoji as soon as you write #Bitcoin BTC hashtag.
To use it, just type the hashtag of Bitcoin(#Bitcoin) and the emoji will pops up.

Edit: I think it will also work on hashtag #BTC BTC #btc BTC #bitcoin BTC.

This shows that how important is bitcoin and how fast people will be more knowledgeable about bitcoins. This is a very good move by twitter and since it is in trending, this shows how much it is anticipated by the people.

I am not a Twitter person, but this is great news! It shows that Bitcoin is becoming a solid part of contemporary culture. Bitcoin emoji might not seem like much, but it increases its noticeability,

same here i dont use twitter but i use other social media specifically fb but yeah its still a good idea to include an emoji like this , this only prove that twitter is also supporting crypto but did the emoji were only depending on the device that we use and not exactly on the platform ? speaking of device , other devices now like mobile phone , do also have a btc emoji . it was an apple iphone and samsung phone that i see . emoji is not small but everyone right now uses an emoji . it plays a big role on the text or word that you are writing .

So I got curious and want to see it on my own so I tried it as well and both #bitcoin and #btc works. It's nice to see own bitcoin emoji on twitter. It somehow makes me proud about this. We know that the CEO of twitter is very open and vocal towards his acceptance on Bitcoin. And this kind of update on his own app is a great thing. I bet crypto users will often use this hashtag on Twitter now.

Bitcoin emoji might not seem like much, but it increases its noticeability, right? I like it that Jack Dorsey is being so supportive. He tweets positive stuff, he funds the Lightning Network development, his Cash App accepts Bitcoin (at least, this is something I read about a week ago), and now this emoji is just a nice addition to the overall systematically pro-Bitcoin position of an influential person.

I also loved the joke about BCH and BSV, by the way Cheesy

It's long been overdue, but thanks to Jack anyways, I'm sure BTC haters and shitcoins are going to envy this one. And we all know that Jack is really pro-bitcoin and the timing is perfect with this hashtag release. I mean we're sort on a mini bull run and this kind of marketing is really needed. Thumbs up to Jack Dorsey!!

Hit that Tweet button and boom... But in android app, the emoji shows while still typing, not sure in desktop or browser tho.

Jack Dorsey is definitely a pro-bitcoin guy

Yep, I knew that, just a misquote, what I'm referring is

Not really, but still it gives more impact than an ordinary hashtag when reading making a tweet, whereas twitter is considered one of the used social media platform for crypto especially BTC.

Jack Dorsey is definitely a pro-bitcoin guy. I mean, take a look at one of his companies(Square). Not obvious at all..

Also, Jack Dorsey freakin funded Lightning Labs with $2.5 million: https://techcrunch.com/2018/03/15/lightning-labs-just-raised-millions-from-jack-dorsey-and-others-to-supercharge-blockchain-transactions/

Apparently an emoji also appears when you type the BCH and BSV hashtag.

#BCH💩
#BSV💩

^definitely an original joke that I didn't copy from someone on Twitter

LMAO. That was a cruel one...

I can predict in the future we will see a Criptocoins section in the emoji app. Just as we can see flags nowadays there will be one for coins.

But to have BTC emoji in twitter is a nice step

LOL. Those two are looking more and more irrelevant in my eyes as time goes on, and those emojis are perfect for them and every other bitcoin fork that retains the name "bitcoin" in it.

I can't stand Twitter, and it amazes me that it's staying relevant. I have a feeling that it either won't be around in ten years, or it'll look much different by then. It doesn't help that celebrities and politicians use it to spew nonsense, and that millions of wide-mouthed, drooling people gobble it up.

Great that bitcoin has an emoji on Twitter now, but still....it's not a huge news item, not even a plus for bitcoin. I'm left feeling a bit meh after reading this.

And yeah, my previous tweet with the #bitcoin has BTC sign now.

For facebook, ah nevermind for them, didn't use that site to make post.

Just tried it!
Looks great comes in red. Nice to see twitter adding Bitcoin emoji. When will Facebook ad bitcoin emoji?

Really ? Does it work? If yes , then I think twitter do some good idea and decision and being aware in growing bitcoin community. But I think facebook will not try to add that emoji, there are lot of pending request adding more emoji in facebook, and also they are currently building their own blockchain, so I think it is not yet possible.

Quote from: blckhawk on February 02, 2020, 07:34:23 AM

Twitter's CEO Jack Dorsey has been always known to be an enthusiast of decentralized systems. It also makes more users aware of Bitcoin, and seeing a CEO of their social media site that they're on bringing it into attention, could attract more curious minds towards cryptocurrencies in general.

Really? That could be great, twitter CEO is smart! And futuristic as well, not like McAfee ooops. But then, Im glad that twitter made that move, it could be a good effect on bitcoin martket.

@hugeblack thanks for noticing it and posting it out here and as we discuss here Bitcoin Emoji is trending a lot on twitter, and do you’ll believe that we will see sudden spikes in bitcoin prices because of this move by Twitter.

Quote from: CryptopreneurBrainboss on February 02, 2020, 02:48:10 AM

While Jack is actively doing everything possible in promoting bitcoin, Mark is busy trying to sell his shitcoin (AKA Libra) idea to fool the masses. Don't be like Mark, 😁 be like JACK.

Bitcoin with its emoji currently trending No1 on Twitter NG. What a great way to start the week.

@CryptopreneurBrainboss no one is keen to buy Facebook 💩 coin, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they called off this coin because their own partners have started to back out of this coin.

Awesome, it is currently showing up as #6 in the top 10 trending (...)

It's on trending list with 60,000+ tweets omg! Huge numbers for Bitcoin..
And also Jack Dorsey, mentioned unicode on his tweet here: https://twitter.com/jack/status/1223841364711854080
Next goal is to add Bitcoin symbol in some emoji and that's exciting. You think guys it is possible? Like we can see soon the Bitcoin symbol in some standard emojis? That is pretty awesome.
Unicode Emoji is huge and let's pray they will consider adding Bitcoin icon to their emoji list.
