Social media platform – Twitter is known to be the hub of most cryptocurrency influencers, as well as a wide meeting point for the “crypto community” – as they are called.

To use the emoji feature, users are required to Tweet using example #BTC, #Bitcoin, â‚¿, and related hashtags.
While Twitter’s branded hashtag service was launched in 2015, crypto only just joined the frenzy following its growing popularity and community members making a home on the platform.
