#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.

The Not-So-Obvious 15-Minute Wedge: An Underground Gem When most traders look at charts, they see random lines zigzagging up and down like a toddler with a crayon. But those of us in the know? We see art, we see purpose, and in the 15-minute timeframe, we see an opportunity that moves faster than a sale at your favorite shoe store. (And, yes, unlike that pair of neon loafers you bought, this one is actually useful.) In this post, we're diving into the rising wedge on the 15-minute chart—a pattern that many dismiss or underestimate. But here's the catch: once you understand its potential, the wedge can become a true profit powerhouse in your trading arsenal. The Secret Behind the Rising Wedge Pattern The rising wedge pattern is essentially that one friend you have who seems to have everything going great on the surface but you just know there's a breakdown around the corner—kind of like that time I accidentally hit 'buy' instead of 'sell' and the market decided to take a dive, much like my optimism. The rising wedge is characterized by a gradually tightening upward channel that, surprise surprise, loves to fake people out before sending prices lower. A Quick Rundown of the Pattern To keep it simple, the rising wedge is a bearish reversal pattern. Yes, even when price action seems to be climbing, it's actually moving towards a setup for a decline. It forms when the price makes higher highs and higher lows, but the movement between those highs and lows starts to converge—like a spring coiling tighter. And what happens to a coiled spring when it releases? Exactly. Key Characteristics: - The channel gradually narrows as price action creates higher highs and higher lows. - Volume typically declines, hinting that buyers are getting less enthusiastic as they hit resistance points. - As the wedge narrows, watch for the big break below the support line. This is the ideal moment to enter a short trade. But here’s where the ninja-level tactics come into play: timing your entry, avoiding traps, and maximizing your profit (while avoiding the regret that rivals buying Bitcoin pizza in 2010). The Real Juice: Trading the Rising Wedge on the 15-Minute Timeframe Trading the rising wedge on the 15-minute timeframe is a bit like being at an exclusive club. You get to see moves developing before the bigger crowds catch on. Here are some pro tips to make sure you’re that VIP trader: 1. Look for Divergence—Your Early Warning System One way to boost your odds is by spotting bearish divergence on a momentum indicator (like the RSI). As the price continues to edge higher within the wedge, the RSI might be quietly calling it a day and forming lower highs. This tells you that the price rally is running out of steam. Pro Tip: Think of divergence as that friend who loves to tell you the truth, even when no one else will. It’s the market hinting, "Hey buddy, it’s getting a bit dicey up here." Use that to your advantage. 2. Know the Entry Sweet Spot—Where the Magic Happens The wedge is just about to end, and here’s the golden nugget: you want to get in just as price breaks below the lower support trendline. A lot of traders—the amateurs—wait too long. By the time they realize the wedge is crumbling, the move has already begun, and they’re left wondering why they missed it. Getting in early, within a 15-minute window, gives you the leverage to maximize profits while limiting risk. To make things even sweeter, place your stop just above the last high of the wedge. If it takes out the stop, guess what? It wasn't a valid breakout—meaning the market just did you a favor and kept you from a losing trade. Breaking Myths and Finding Gold Now, let’s bust a couple of myths about the rising wedge pattern: Myth #1: Rising Wedge Is Always Bearish That’s not true. Rising wedges can also form during uptrends, continuing the bullish movement. But here's the secret: it’s about context. In a 15-minute timeframe, you're more likely to find it acting as a reversal signal, especially in range-bound markets. Remember, not every wedge is born to fall, but they do love to trick traders into thinking the rally will go on forever. Myth #2: The Breakout Always Leads to Massive Moves The rising wedge breakout on a 15-minute timeframe doesn’t necessarily mean we’re going to the moon (or plummeting to the earth’s core). Sometimes, these moves are subtle. Recognizing the pattern and taking small, consistent profits is what turns you from average to exceptional. And isn’t that what we're all here for? Ninja-Level Exit Tactics Alright, so you’re in. Congratulations! But before you start patting yourself on the back, it’s important to know when to get out. One method is using the measured move, essentially calculating the distance between the initial high and low in the wedge and projecting it from the breakout point. Or, you could do what some pros do and set trailing stops—allowing profits to run until there’s a clear reversal signal. Avoiding Common Pitfalls We’ve all been there: staring at a chart, seeing a rising wedge, and telling ourselves, "This is the moment I’ve been waiting for." Only to realize after hitting the button that we were totally wrong and the market just played us like a bad sitcom plot twist. 1. Don't Force It If the wedge looks forced—like it's one of those 'kinda looks like' situations—leave it alone. Not every narrowing channel is a wedge. Real talk? If it looks like that one weird cousin at family gatherings, it’s probably not a valid wedge. Only trade those that are textbook perfect, or you’ll be kicking yourself when the market moves in the opposite direction. 2. Volume Matters As the wedge narrows, volume should taper off. It's a clear signal that traders are losing confidence in the continuation. But if volume is blasting off like fireworks on New Year’s Eve, maybe reconsider—you might be looking at something else entirely. Real-World Example: The Power of Patience A perfect real-world example happened earlier this year. A 15-minute rising wedge formed on EUR/USD, just around a major resistance level. Traders who recognized the pattern and patiently waited for the breakdown were able to ride the subsequent bearish move for over 40 pips. The pattern took nearly four hours to develop, but patience, in this case, paid off. It’s like the ultimate slow-cooker recipe—you have to let the flavors build. The Big Takeaway If there's one thing you should remember, it's this: the rising wedge pattern is a master at creating false hope. It tricks the market into thinking everything is peachy—only to suddenly shift gears. Learning to identify and trade this pattern effectively on a 15-minute timeframe gives you an edge most traders lack. And here's the part where I drop a bombshell: mastering this wedge can be simpler than you think when you understand context, volume, and divergence. Like any good strategy, it's about consistency, managing your risk, and never forcing a setup. So, the next time you see a rising wedge, treat it with the respect it deserves. Let it develop, keep an eye on those divergences, and be ready to pounce when the moment is right—before you end up like that friend who bought those neon loafers.

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…
