Bitcoin Pizza Day: how to get tickets
Bitcoin Pizza Day 2022.
Those who want to attend will get their free tickets via any of the options listed on the official site: bitcoinpizzadayba.xyz.
The great new thing in this event is Token-Gating or Access through tokens, which assumes that those with a particular cryptoactive (NFT) in their social wallets will be able to access or participate in some particular activity. This technology is very innovative in the world and a sample of what can be everyday for the majority of the population on the not too distant horizon.
There will also be simpler alternatives for those who do not have such technical knowledge and just want to participate to delve deeper into the subject.
Two pizzas are now worth more than 300 million dollars
Laszlo Hanyecz next to pizzas currently worth more than 300 million dollars.
The occasion commemorates the first purchase of goods made using Bitcoin in the world: two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. The person who bought it was Laszlo Hanyecz, one of the first to adopt the cryptocurrency in 2010, just months after it was launched. The purchase, which equates to approximately $ 41 dollars, is now is worth $ 389 million dollars as reported by the Bitcoin Pizza Index.
In the world of crypto, everything is limited to a virtual protocol through a network processed by algorithms that are randomly distributed, therefore this popular transaction is public and it can be verified that Hanyecz paid the two pizza with 10,000 Bitcoin.
Due to this fact, every 22nd of May “Bitcoin Pizza Day” is celebrated, which celebrates the first transaction of a physical product in cryptocurrencies.
To commemorate this day, various pizzerias around the world have forged alliances with various Exchanges most popular on a global scale to provide benefits to its users.
This year in Argentina, along with Welook and PizzaDAO, along with sponsors such as: TravelX, Agrotoken, BNB Chain, PintaToken, POAP, CoinEx, DefyEducation and Satoshi Market, have joined forces to provide pizza to all visitors to event and in this way to continue the celebration of this super special day for the crypto community.
