With the likes of the widespread use of cryptocurrency, crypto believers on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Telegram, Reddit, LinkedIn, and more have adopted a whole new way of channeling their communication. They prefer using Emojis to express their emotions rather than calling or texting. Additionally, the introduction of emoticons has made it much easier for crypto lovers to convey their emotions and retain their tone when sending texts.

Emoticons, commonly known as Emojis, have made how people across crypto space communicate more fun. So, it is worthwhile, reasonable, and fair to have a day dedicated solely to them; thus, on July 17 of every year.

Below are the most used crypto emojis:

A Lightning Torch (⚡)

The lightning torch emoji depicts how fast the Bitcoin (BTC) network really is. On the other hand, Bitcoiners attribute the torch to a lightning transaction between one user and the other. With the torch, the transaction gets forwarded to the next user when each user adds 10,000 satoshis on top of it.

Proof of Keys (🔑)

The Proof of Key concept is used to express a deep belief that one is obliged to keep his own private keys. It literally gave birth to the expression “Not your keys, not your Bitcoin.” To avoid being prey to imposters’ trap, you should never share your mnemonic phrase with anyone, even if the person is your wife.

Bitcoin Pizza (🍕)

Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated in commemoration of the day when Bitcoin was first used in real-world transactions. May 12 of every year represents “Bitcoin Pizza Day.” On this day, Bitcoiners celebrate by ordering a pizza with BTC.

Ethereum Burning Transaction Fee (🔥🔥🔥)

This Ethereum emoji is used to symbolize a time when developers burn ETH.

Mooner (🚀)

A coin is said to go to the “moon” when it experiences a sharp spike in price. Within the crypto market, everyone has their own way of defining their “moon,” but it’s important to reach your targeted moon to buy or sell your crypto holdings for your desired profit.
