Leading global cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company Bitget recently held a series of global events to celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day. These celebrations took place from Asia to South America, commemorating the first time Bitcoin was used for a physical transaction and recognizing the growth and community spirit of the cryptocurrency industry.
In addition, on May 22, Bitget partnered with the Pajamas project to host a Bitcoin Pizza Day carnival in Taipei, attracting over 200 cryptocurrency enthusiasts. The highlight of this event was a fascinating panel discussion with the theme “Transitioning to Web3: Leveraging Web2 Experience for Success.” Several heavyweight guests, including YouTube co-founder Steve Chen, Chill Blockchain from Nerve, Bonnie Blockchain, Mr. Blockchain, and Shazatami from the Pajamas project, were invited to share their valuable experiences and insights. This discussion not only enhanced participants’ understanding of Web3 but also sparked their limitless imagination for future development. Besides being Bitcoin Pizza Day, it was also the 19th anniversary of the first video uploaded to YouTube by co-founder Steve Chen, titled “Pajamas and Nick Drake.”
Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated on May 22 every year, symbolizing the first physical transaction using Bitcoin. On this day in 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz purchased two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins (worth about $670 million today), marking a legendary moment in the crypto community. This year, Bitget organized a series of events worldwide to celebrate this milestone and bring together cryptocurrency enthusiasts, traders, and innovators. From May 19 to 22, Bitget hosted a total of 20 offline events in Asia, Europe, Oceania, and other regions. Bitget also produced a 3D video to convey this message.
Bitget also collaborated with PizzaDAO to sponsor more activities in key cities to promote community participation and celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day. These cities include Tokyo, Madrid, Lisbon, Zurich, and Taipei. This year’s event was the fourth annual Global Pizza Party by PizzaDAO, attracting over 10,000 participants from more than 150 cities worldwide.
Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, stated, “Bitcoin Pizza Day represents an important moment in the history of cryptocurrencies, signifying the evolution of cryptocurrencies from a novel concept to a revolutionary force in the financial sector. It also recognizes the early adopters who believed in the potential of decentralized technology and encourages us to continue exploring innovative uses of cryptocurrencies. At Bitget, we gather the global community together every year to celebrate this milestone and acknowledge the significant progress in the industry.”
The rise of Bitcoin from $0.003 in 2010 to its current value of around $67,000 highlights the evolution of the financial landscape over the past decade and the journey of Bitcoin from an obscure digital currency to a widely recognized financial instrument. Bitget’s Bitcoin Pizza Day event is not only a celebration but also an opportunity to reflect on the achievements and future potential of cryptocurrencies.
