American digital artist Beeple, known for using his creations to satirize current events, has released a new artwork. As Bitcoin surged to $50,000, he depicted a robust President Joe Biden with the popular meme of Laser Eyes, often used by Bitcoin enthusiasts, looking at the rising cryptocurrency. On either side, there are two priests holding green K sticks, appearing to prepare a sacrificial offering.
In the US election year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached a new high on January 12th, and the stock market has been steadily rising this year, as expected. Bitcoin has also been growing in this atmosphere.
Furthermore, Beeple described the artwork as “DARK BRANDON SENDS IT.” What does “BRANDON” mean?

What is the political meme “Let’s Go Brandon”?
Origin of “Let’s Go Brandon”
The term “BRANDON” actually comes from the phrase “Let’s Go Brandon,” which is a euphemism for “Fuck Joe Biden.” Therefore, Brandon has become an internet nickname for Biden.
“Let’s Go Brandon” originated from a 2021 televised interview with race car driver Brandon Brown. When interviewed by NBC, the audience was chanting “Fuck Joe Biden.” However, the reporter misheard and interpreted it as “Let’s Go Brandon” in support of Brandon Brown. This incident turned into a joke and became an internet meme. “Let’s Go Brandon” has also become a political slogan for Republicans.
