The GoT Reference
Lummis posted an AI-generated image depicting her in a Game of Thrones-like setting, featuring “laser eyes” and the text, “Clarity Is Coming.”
The “laser eyes” meme, a 2021 Bitcoin community signal of bullish belief, typically shows a person with glowing red eyes in their profile picture to signify “laser focus” on Bitcoin’s (CRYPTO: BTC) price.
Lummis has used the meme several times in the past. In fact, she has also updated her profile picture to one with the “laser eyes.”
