Laser eyes are the ocular condition of the terminally bullish. In Bugleverse canon they are not an avatar filter but a live physiological event: during a January 2023 Bloomberg interview, when the host suggested Bitcoin might remain a mere store of value, “you could almost see Nico‘s eyes transform into lasers as his gaze met the host’s eyes” — immediately before he declared “It’s either Bitcoin or slavery and humanity will choose Bitcoin” (Simply Bitcoin Discusses Future Rebrand).

irl: “Laser eyes” was the 2021 #LaserRayUntil100K profile-picture trend, in which Bitcoiners photoshopped red laser eyes onto their avatars. The Bugle treats it as something that happens to your actual face.
