It’s that time of the year again, degens! The time when we celebrate the ultimate act of impulsive spending in the history of mankind – Bitcoin Pizza Day! For those who aren’t aware, May 22nd marks the anniversary of the first-ever recorded purchase made using Bitcoin, when Laszlo Hanyecz, a Florida-based programmer, ordered two large Papa John’s pizzas for a whopping 10,000 BTC back in 2010.

Now, let’s do some quick math here – at today’s market rate, 10,000 BTC would be worth around $270 million! That’s right, a couple of pizzas that could have potentially made Laszlo a multi-millionaire today. But instead, he decided to exchange it for some cheesy, saucy goodness. And thus, a couple of years later, Bitcoin Pizza Day was born – a day that reminds us of the power of crypto culture and the fleeting nature of our impulses.

But if you’re feeling adventurous, you can take things up a notch and try ordering pizza using crypto. Many pizzerias and food delivery services now accept Bitcoin and other coins as payment, so you can relive Laszlo’s experience in the Web3 age.

But let’s not forget the underlying message of Bitcoin Pizza Day – that even the smallest, seemingly insignificant transactions can have a profound impact on the world. Laszlo’s pizza order may have been a joke at the time, but it paved the way for the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. It showed that Bitcoin was more than just a speculative asset or a tool for money laundering – it was a revolutionary concept that challenged the traditional financial system.

Over the years, Bitcoin Pizza Day has gained a cult following among crypto enthusiasts and pizza lovers alike. It’s a day to indulge in your favorite slices and reflect on the absurdity of life. And what better way to celebrate it than by hosting a pizza party with your fellow hodlers?

PizzaDAO is organizing the third Bitcoin Pizza Party in partnership with local communities in over 85 cities across the globe. This collective community is using blockchain technology to drive community, capital, awareness, and inclusion to small business owners while raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to support independent charities and feed hungry tummies.

But that’s not all – PizzaDAO has its own NFT pizza collection with Rare Pizzas, a project that has created 10,000 generative baked pizza NFTs in collaboration with 314+ topping artists from around the world. This project connects artists, developers, and pizza lovers to throw the world’s largest pizza party every year on Bitcoin Pizza Day.
