#Bitcoin Pizza Day

[readok]

22 мая 2010 года программист Ласло Хейниц из Флориды купил две пиццы за 10 000 биткоинов, которые по современному курсу стоили бы $697,2 млн.

В те годы криптовалюты были не столь распространены и программист просто переслал биткоины пользователю форума Bitcointalk, который согласился заказать ему две пиццы с доставкой, которые обошлись в $41. Долгое время этот случай считался первым примером транзакции через биткоин.

В сообществе пользователей криптовалютами 22 мая ежегодно отмечается как Bitcoin Pizza Day.

The Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Slice of History in Cryptocurrency

Written by Delvin In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency, a peculiar event marked a significant milestone – the first recorded Bitcoin transaction in 2010. On May 22nd of that year, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made history by purchasing two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins. Little did he know that this seemingly simple transaction would become a legendary tale in the realm of digital…

dunno if im wrong about this but i feel my whole life, doesn't matter where i'm living, people always hate the closest pizza spot to the place i'm at.

like whatever's right by you, someone's always like "that place sucks, let's get the further place"

On May 22, 2010, a historic event took place that would forever change the course of cryptocurrency history. Known as "Bitcoin Pizza Day," this date commemorates the first real-life use case of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. It is a celebration of a seemingly simple transaction that has come to symbolize the revolutionary potential of digital currencies. Bitcoin Pizza Day holds significant importance in the journey of Bitcoin and serves as a reminder of the early adopters who paved the way for the widespread acceptance of cryptocurrencies.

While the transaction itself may seem inconsequential today, its significance lies in the fact that it marked the first time Bitcoin was used to purchase tangible goods in the real world. It showcased the potential of cryptocurrencies to facilitate peer-to-peer transactions without the need for traditional financial intermediaries. Bitcoin Pizza Day became a turning point in the adoption and acceptance of cryptocurrencies.

The Crypto Craze: A Decentralized Treasure Hunt!

Did you know that the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin was for a pizza? On May 22, 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz famously paid 10,000 Bitcoins for two pizzas, marking a significant milestone in cryptocurrency history. At that time, the value of 10,000 BTC was about $41, but today that same pizza purchase would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars! This day is now celebrated annually as "Bitcoin Pizza Day" in the crypto community! 🍕💰

i'm grateful to the people who are responsible for radicalizing me, but one thing that can be difficult to recognize is that it's usually a really gentle push toward reminding you of things you've already known. it's difficult to recognize because the temptation is substantial to approach the problem other ways when you're on the other side of the table, and it's easy to come across like a lecturer or a scold even when you remember the soft approach

i don't think i ever seriously flirted with libertarianism, because i can distinctly remember asking "doesn't he want to return to the silver backed dollar or some fucking thing" whenever anybody brought up ron paul, but the guy who said "libertarians are like republican-lite" helped me to see it in clearer relief when i was suffering from doe eyed reformist optimism, even while he was chasing a years-late attempt to subconsciously emulate amazon by reselling books on ebay, even while we were talking about bitcoin pizza day with doe eyed reformist optimism during occupy. or the guy who wore a hammer and sickle pin and didn't say anything -- or, that's not right, he talked about wearing it and purposefully not saying anything -- who was also, by the way, the only guy i've ever met whose dick was as big as mine. SORRY. i got wrapped up in the memory

still can't get over bitcoin pizza day

I think one of the most profound forms of love is "I'll try that, for you. I may not like it, but I'll try it."

It's a confused middle-aged man in a pottery class, whose daughter is helping him with his clay's plasticity. It's a kid scrunching up their brow while listening to their mom's favorite music, trying to figure out why she likes it. It's a girlfriend who says "Yes, I'll go with you" and her girlfriend cheering and buying a second ticket for a con. It's a friend half dragging another friend through an aquarium, the one being dragged laughing and calling out "Wait, wait, I know we're here for the exhibit, but I haven't been here! Slow down!"

It's being willing to spend some of your time trying something new because it makes someone you love happy.

Bitcoin: Seven wild moments from its turbulent history

2. Making history with pizza Bitcoin now underpins a two trillion-dollar cryptocurrency industry – but the first recorded transaction using it was the purchase of pizza. On 22 May 2010, Lazlo Hanyecz, offered $41 worth of Bitcoin on a crypto forum in return for two pizzas. A 19-year-old student obliged and the day went down in history for fans of the currency as #BitcoinPizza day. A source of…

Bitcoin Breaks $81k, APAC Markets React to Stimulus Blues Bitcoin Hits New Highs and APAC Markets Shake Off Stimulus Blues Imagine waking up, checking the markets, and realizing Bitcoin's decided it's not just flying—it's outright soaring past $80,000! Yes, over the weekend, Bitcoin blasted through this key level and kept climbing, now sitting comfortably above $81,000. It’s like Bitcoin looked in the mirror and said, “Why stop here?” But as Bitcoin parties on, the APAC region has had a very different vibe. APAC Markets: Subdued, Skeptical, but Not Out Asia-Pacific markets started the week feeling a little less festive compared to Bitcoin’s meteoric rise. China’s recent economic data came out underwhelming, and investors were left sighing after some less-than-spectacular fiscal announcements. The ASX 200 took a hit, dragged down by the sagging commodity and consumer-related sectors—because who needs coal when the world wants digital gold, right? The Nikkei 225? It looked a bit like someone who can’t decide if they’re attending the party or leaving early. It traded indecisively, cushioned slightly by a weaker yen but without enough oomph to pick a clear direction. And let’s not forget the Hang Seng and Shanghai Composite. Both got pulled down, with Hong Kong seeing a particularly rough day in the property and tech sectors. But, hold up—some chipmakers did get a boost, thanks to the US ordering TSMC to halt shipments to China of AI chips. It’s like being grounded but still finding $20 in your pocket: it stings, but at least there’s a small win. China and the "Just Enough" Fiscal Moves Speaking of China, the weekend’s stimulus wasn’t quite the cavalry charge investors had hoped for—more like a slightly delayed pizza delivery. Fiscal measures were announced, but they seemed to be just enough to prevent total despair, not enough to inspire genuine enthusiasm. The softer inflation numbers weren’t a thrill either, pointing to more pressure on factory prices. Still, China's Finance Ministry made an interesting move: frontloading part of 2025’s central government fiscal funds for affordable housing and village renovations. A kind of "borrow from the future" strategy—much like traders borrowing from future caffeine hits to keep awake during these lackluster market moves. Foxconn, Ishiba, and a BoJ Balancing Act Zooming out to notable headlines, Foxconn's January-September net profit came in at TWD 2.68 billion. A solid number, but it’s not quite the fireworks traders might be looking for. In Japan, Prime Minister Ishiba looks set to hold on to his position, having secured 221 out of 465 lower house votes. Political stability may not be exciting, but it’s often what markets crave—the calm in the storm. Over at the Bank of Japan, there’s a lot of talk about playing it cool—members discussing cautious rate hikes and keeping a wary eye on the global economy. Imagine trying to balance an egg on a spoon while walking through a crowded fair; that’s the BoJ right now—steady as she goes, but with every step calculated. China-Peru Trade Boost and the AI Chip Standoff China and Peru are shaking hands on strengthening their Free Trade Agreement, with Xi Jinping leading a 400-strong business delegation looking to pump money into infrastructure and technology. It’s like the diplomatic equivalent of a flash sale—who wants in on this investment action? Meanwhile, the TSMC situation might be one of the more consequential moves of the week. With the US blocking shipments of advanced chips to China, there’s a brewing battle over technology that’s starting to feel like a heavyweight title fight. Except, instead of punches, they’re throwing semiconductors. The Market: What’s Next? As traders, the message is clear: whether it’s Bitcoin popping off or APAC markets dealing with a hangover from fiscal letdowns, the only certainty is uncertainty. Watch the big moves, but also don’t sleep on the small shifts—those little moments where markets tell a story that’s more interesting than the headlines. And for now, it seems like the headline is: "Bitcoin Goes to the Moon, APAC Markets Hit Snooze." Hidden Tactics for Forex Traders - Stay Contrarian in Uncertainty: Bitcoin's rise might suggest risk appetite is back, but APAC's slump says otherwise. If everyone seems bullish, consider if there’s value in going against the grain. - Capitalize on China's "Just Enough" Policies: Fiscal moves in China were minimal, but frontloading 2025 funds suggests housing may see a bit of a push. Look at currencies tied to these developments for possible early movements. - AI Chip Moves and Market Reaction: TSMC being restricted from shipping to China could mean broader implications for tech-linked currencies. Watch closely for knock-on effects—where one door closes, another might open, potentially in sectors less impacted by the restrictions. Navigating the Noise This week, it’s all about balance—whether that’s Bitcoin balancing its newfound heights or APAC trying to find footing amid disappointment. The key for traders? Listen to the subtler tunes playing in the background. It’s often the less-obvious market reactions that signal where the opportunities lie, while the headlines are busy stealing all the limelight. —————– Image Credits: Cover image at the top is AI-generated   Read the full article
