Binance Marks 13th Bitcoin Pizza Day with Global Celebrations: A Nod to Crypto Evolution
Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, is set to celebrate the 13th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day with global community meet-ups, highlighting the immense growth and acceptance of digital currencies since the first-ever Bitcoin transaction.
The world’s premier cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, is poised to celebrate the 13th anniversary of the momentous Bitcoin Pizza Day. This event marks the day when two pizzas were exchanged for 10,000 BTC in 2010, signaling the dawn of a new era in the world of cryptocurrencies. The celebration serves to underscore the paradigm shift this event instigated within the realm of digital currencies.
Kicking off in Naples, Italy – the home of pizza – on May 21, Binance plans to host a series of engaging community meet-ups around the globe. The festivities will continue with unique pizza-themed celebrations in ten countries: Brazil, Bahrain, Pakistan, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Uruguay, Mexico, Argentina, and New Zealand. The festivities will be marked by Binance’s takeovers of local pizzerias and pizza vans, infusing the crypto theme into this universally loved delicacy.
Simultaneously, the crypto community worldwide is invited to partake in the festivities virtually via social media and the Binance app. Participants stand a chance to win the crypto equivalent of a year’s supply of pizza by sharing their unique Binance-themed pizzas using the hashtag #BinancePizza, or by successfully collecting all the Pizza Flavours in the Binance app. The online celebration will culminate in a virtual live meet-up on May 22, featuring Binance CEO CZ and prominent Binance Feed creators discussing the enduring significance of Bitcoin Pizza Day.
“Binance sees Bitcoin Pizza Day as a powerful symbol of community strength and the growing acceptance of Bitcoin in our everyday lives,” says Yi He, Binance co-founder, and CMO. She further emphasizes Binance’s commitment to fostering mass adoption and creating practical use cases for crypto in daily life. Each Pizza Day event promises activities, rewards, free pizza, and opportunities to win Binance merchandise. For instance, the first 500 event registrants in Naples will enjoy free “Binance style” pizza and drinks and participate in a pizza-making contest for Binance prizes.
Bitcoin Pizza Day represents a monumental milestone in the crypto industry. It showcases the industry’s incredible growth and the path it has paved for digital currencies over the last 13 years. As always, Binance remains steadfast in its mission to enhance monetary freedom, believing that rising crypto adoption will further expand opportunities for financial liberty. Binance is honored to commemorate this significant day alongside its dedicated and progressive community.
