It’s a big day today for the digital currency lovers, as the world celebrates today the Bitcoin Pizza Day. Every year on 22nd May, this day is observed all across the world to pay tribute to a Bitcoin businessman called Laszlo Hanyecz. It is exactly eleven years ago when we saw a software professional called Laszlo Hanyecz from Florida in the US was seen procuring two pizzas from Papa John by paying 10K bitcoins. It was to honor this man; this particular day is celebrated all across the world as Btc Pizza Day. These were days when Bitcoin had barely any value, and this man got an idea of procuring pizzas considering an act of cool before his friends. The young software professional, while speaking in one of the interviews in 2013, claimed that using bitcoin for such things was considered to be a cool thing, and he did that for the same reason.
He was speaking to Time magazine while sharing his experience of buying two pizzas worth 10K bitcoin. Imagine the amount he could have owned with this sum of bitcoins today. It was in 2017 when we saw the growth of bitcoin that came to the value worth 20K and since it was seen poking the trade in a big way. Many of the companies and investment firms got attracted all over Wall Street during this time only. Digital money was seen originating by a man called Satoshi Nakamoto, who came up with this cryptocurrency using the technology called Blockchain back in the year 2008. Despite the fact that it gained a good soaring value, one can see bitcoin doing well. Thus, the date today celebrates the transactions taking place between a software professional and the pizza store. This day is celebrated by crypto lovers all across the world.
Today one of the interesting celebrations of this day was witnessed as a few incredible strangers on the web were seen treating people all across the world with a few million free slices. There are many more stories about this celebration and read here about the perils of cryptocurrency. It is the project called Pizza Dao and their Rare Pizzas that have seen coming along with providing pie bounty with the help of selling away thousands of NFTs in the metaverse. There are thousands of Pizzas coming from the NFTs that are seen coming from more than 300 artists all over the world that came selling around 1.5 M USD since the month of March this year. Talking about the same, the Rare Pizza team member Sam Winrott claimed that the project is seen selling the virtual pizzas just to raise funds and support people all across the world who are badly hit by the Covid 19 pandemic.
