The bitcoin pizza day is always a remarkable celebration day in the bitcoin community, I could remember the forum member getting interviewed about how he feels that people celebrates the day he sold pizza for such a huge amount of bitcoin. The last two year's celebration was so lit with many people on social media talking about it. I guess it was because of the 2021 bull run, many people had a keen eye on bitcoin. Now the transaction fee is lesser, though not very fast, but the intuition of LN to people and store owners is also a great idea to keep them prepared against any congestion in future.

Bitcoin is not well-known in the country where I reside and no business accepts Bitcoin. Which means I will join any celebration on social media or the forum. Maybe I and a few Bitcoiners I know in my location would consider starting an event to make the yearly Pizza Day celebration. My main problem is the government's negative view of the crypto industry. I am concerned that they might see such an event as an avenue to promote Bitcoin and find it offensive. Another possible problem might be the negative perception that people who own Bitcoin are rich. People who attend such an event might become targets for scammers and other villains.

these are all very valid issues. Of course you don't have to discuss how many you own, but I understand that if you're promoting it, it seems obvious that you've benefited.

Best I can recommend is to have cold storage in a secure location OUTSIDE your house.

It's rather ironic how bitcoin sometimes is branded as "be your own bank".... but then it's a lot of work to be your own bank... and there's a reason we have banks... it's cuz they do provide a server, haha.

Anywho, be sure you put most of your bitcoin in secure storage... Anything more than you want on an exchange to trade with or in your wallet to spend.

Good luck! hopefully, as more governments start to use it like currency like El Salvador, it will continue to be seen for the legitimate uses it can be in addition to the bad ones...

OP, I am really glad someone are actively engaging people to adopt Bitcoin and also the Lightning Network. I think the LN is key to the adoption of Bitcoin as a currency, but I think the learning curve for that, is still too high. Roll Eyes

Will you be offering some discount for people who are paying with Bitcoin as an incentive for them to use Bitcoin as a currency? I find that a discount are one of the most effective strategies to increase Bitcoin adoption. Wink

Sorry, never got back to you on this. Haven't had much discount for bitcoin payers; however, where I work out offers a decent discount for when I use bitcoin.

This year, if anyone is willing to listen to me talk, and maybe install bitcoin wallet on their phone, I may given them bitcoin to pay for their meal in full. (while funds last). I doubt I'll empty my wallet which will have a few hundred bucks, heh.

We arrived in Hong Kong yesterday but couldn't find any Pizza day event unfortunately.

Though we got some slice at "mother of pizza" near Hong Kong central, can only recommend!
Couldn't pay in sats though, haha.

Anyway, since it's still the 22nd in the US, happy pizza day everybody!

This is a big day in the history of bitcoin's existence for those who believe in and pursue it. People create this day as a celebration; it deserves it, and they also encourage and create joy and creative delight to celebrate it. Especially about a story related to pizza when in the old days people exchanged it with bitcoin, so to commemorate this story, they often eat and unleash their creativity on pizza with bitcoin. So let's enjoy your pizza together and have a great Bitcoin Pizza Day 2023.

I remember it like it was yesterday, 13 years ago, 1 pizza for 10,000 BTC. In today's market, 1BTC for 10,000 pizza is regarded as excellent news. It's a memorable day for bitcoin, and I'm more delighted to see Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao dressed up for free pizza delivery. During its early years in the space, bitcoin was worth nothing and those who bagged it tended to exchange it with pizza, one of their unforgettable regrets, they swiped their chances of making multiple dollars away, at the blink of an eye. On the other hand, they are not to blame; we are all humans, and no one knows what the future contains, the possible outcome of bitcoin was underrated, no one believes it will be more valuable today.

Today is historic for all people who love and believe in bitcoin. Every one that loves bitcoin deserves to mark this day with some sort of celebration, if not in a big way, but in their own little way. Eating pizza is very appropriate for the day for those who can especially if they can pay with bitcoins. This day will always be remembered for the years to come and the value of the bitcoins will always be compared to the value of the present day each time. Bitcoin deserves to be celebrated.

It is the day bitcoin got rebirth. Maybe if that incident haven't happened, even now we could've seen bitcoin to be of some value. It might have never been this high. Previously we used to have more promotion and events connected with the day. This time we weren't able to see much of it. Laszlo Hanyecz, the guy who is the prime reason behind the incident enjoyed two Papa John's pizzas. Remembering the incident we were able to see more promotions availed on this day and cryptocurrency users remember it doing their own pizza's.

I hope to be back with my final Bitcoin Pizza Day 2023 plans, but in the meantime, others can share theirs! Cheers!

We already have a tradition in our family, we always cook pizza at Bitcoin Pizza Day at home. Today we will also cook, but we won’t be able to buy pizza for bitcoins, unless I send some bitcoins to my wife’s wallet! Cheesy

There are no pizzerias nearby that accept payment in bitcoins, but it's okay, I like homemade pizza even more.

Was looking in the forum if somebody would make a btc pizza contest this year. The pie making contest was such a big success, a few months back, I guess that would be a fun thing.

I will take some photos of the pizza that we will cook, if there is a contest, then I will definitely participate in it. But so far I have not seen any announcements, maybe something will be announced later.

If I wish I am at your location on this pizza day event to celebrate with you guys. And also I was thinking that Pizza days competition thread would be created this day to see the next winner of the competition but I couldn't see this year. I am only seeing different threads on the pizza. What happened? That event/competition in the forum is for fun and made the forum lively. Now there are different threads on pizza that littering the forum and the board.

As always during every Bitcoin Pizza day in every year we have so many of such post on the forum, infact I think this year had the least post, I really haven't seen much post about the Bitcoin Pizza day as compared to other years, but if the post aren't spam then it isn't all that bad.

There are many newbies coming into the forum some of them would be hearing about the Bitcoin Pizza day for the very first time so post like a well structured pizza day can be very informative to them, about having a competition really I would have been nice is there was any as they used to be something like that in the previous years, probably theymos was more occupied this time around.

I have only loved eating pizza more than I ever thought there was a day for it on this forum.
Am intrigued though. It is only not too common for some of us because of the regions we from and the only way we actually get to enjoy such days is if competitions or challenges is hosted on such days .
Am kind surprised such is yet to be announced here.

I guess you know about [Bitcointalk Party - Discord sv]. This thread was created back in 2020 Just to organize the Pizza baking contest. So, this is the official Bitcointalk Pizza Content thread and also the Official BitcoinTalk Discord server thread. The last three contest was organized within this thread, and I hope this year it will remain within this thread. You may see a different thread in the Games and Round sections or Cyrus may choose to bump the old one.

For now, Cyrus Preparing the contest and you may see the announcement very soon. Creating a new thread every year for same contest is not mandatory. If he choose not to create another one, I don't see any problem. About other threads created in different boards, this is a historic event and people might want to share their excitement. Maybe they are not familiar with different boards so they end up creating topic without knowing that similar threads were created.

Can't trust these days. Grin

Someone like you who created an account just to respond to this post???

no your right I probably wouldn't trust that I would get my pizza

I've been posting here for a few years and would expect to be shamed if the pizza didn't arrive as I would certainly post about it if someone took my sats and gave me nothing in return. I like Laszlo have a little faith in people.

I would like to trade sats for pizza today. Seriously if you want a pizza and you send me enough sats to cover your order I'll use my crypto.com card to have one delivered to you.

If you would prefer to buy me a pizza (We're gluten free so I would want to pick the pizza and carryout location yes I'll even pick it up) I will send you a lightning payment
