The Pizza Day standard has been set.
🍕 Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Slice of Crypto History with Extra Cheese!
Every year on May 22nd, the Bitcoin community around the world fires up the ovens and pays tribute to what might just be the most expensive pizzas in history. Why? Because on this day in 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made the first-ever real-world Bitcoin transaction by buying two large Papa John’s pizzas for 10,000 BTC.
At the time, Bitcoin was barely known and worth just a few cents. But today? Those 10,000 BTC are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. That’s one spicy meatball! 🍕
🥳 Why Do We Celebrate It?
Bitcoin Pizza Day has become a legendary milestone in crypto culture — not just for the eye-watering price tag, but because it showed the world that Bitcoin could be used as real money. It’s a celebration of progress, community, and how far decentralized currency has come.
🌍 How the World Slices It Up
Since then, Bitcoiners everywhere mark the day with good food, great company, and a lot of sats being zapped around the world. Here’s how some communities are joining the fun:
🇺🇸 New York & Miami: Pizza parties and rooftop meetups where pizza is paid for in BTC using the Lightning Network.
🇸🇬 Singapore: Crypto cafes offering “Satoshi Slices” and discounts when paying with Bitcoin.
🇿🇦 Plettenberg Bay, South Africa: The Bitcoin Plett crew host family-friendly beach events with pizza giveaways, treasure hunts, and sats-for-pizza booths.
🇳🇱 Amsterdam: Merch drops and pop-up Bitcoin pizza trucks cruising the canalside.
🌐 Online: Virtual watch parties, educational livestreams, and even competitions to create the best Bitcoin pizza memes.
🍕 More Than Just Pizza
Pizza Day isn’t just about greasy fingers and melted cheese. It’s a symbol of adoption — a reminder that Bitcoin is meant to be used, not just hoarded. It celebrates freedom, community, and financial innovation — all served on a warm, thin crust.
So whether you’re stacking slices or stacking sats, Pizza Day is for everyone. Just don’t forget to tip your delivery driver (in Bitcoin, of course 😉).
