RE: The 1st ever STEEM STAMP makes its cameo appearance at tomorrow's Steemit meetup in Bali
No my friend. This is a Buddhist symbol. The Nazi symbol points in the opposite direction.

I was nervous there for a second! Good to know!
The Nazi symbol does not point in the opposite direction of the Swastika stamp,
they are both clockwise.
The only difference is that the Nazi symbol is rotated by 45 degrees compared to the Swastika,
which traditionally rests flat on one base of a hook.
The Swastika traces its origin back to Hinduism and Bali was able to stick to its Hindu religion after the arrival of Islam in Indonesia, that´s why you still find the Swastika all over Bali.
