Beeple | Biden’s Controversial Policies Boost Bitcoin, What is the Political Meme “Let’s Go Brandon”?
American digital artist Beeple, who is known for using his creations to satirize current events, has created a new artwork. As Bitcoin surged to $50K, he depicted a robust American President Joe Biden with Laser Eyes (a meme popular among Bitcoin enthusiasts) looking at the rising Bitcoin. On either side, there are two priests holding green K-sticks, seemingly about to sacrifice a goat.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average reached a new high on 1/12, and in an election year in the United States, the stock market has performed as expected, continuing to rise this year. Bitcoin has also grown in this atmosphere.
Furthermore, Beeple described it as “DARK BRANDON SENDS IT,” but what does “BRANDON” mean?

What is the political meme “Let’s Go Brandon”?
The origin of “Let’s Go Brandon”
“BRANDON” comes from the phrase “Let’s Go Brandon,” which actually means “Fuck Joe Biden.” Therefore, Brandon has also become an online nickname for Biden.
“Let’s Go Brandon” originated from a 2021 TV interview with a race car driver. Brandon Brown is an American professional race car driver who, during an interview with NBC, was greeted by the audience chanting “Fuck Joe Biden.”
However, the reporter misheard it as “Let’s Go Brandon” in support of Brandon Brown, turning it into a joke and an internet meme. “Let’s Go Brandon” has also become a political slogan for Republicans.
