Have you ever bought a pizza using Bitcoin in lightning network? Wink

No, I never buy a pizza or other things using Bitcoin in the lightning network in a local store because it is hard to find the store. Not many people know that bitcoin can be used as an alternative payment system. Lucky you, you can use Bitcoin to buy a pizza, so I guess you will do it again the next day. Anda if the price of bitcoin increases, that is your benefit to pay using small sats to buy something like pizza. If I can buy something using the lightning network in a local store, I will try it, and perhaps, that could explain to them how to use Bitcoin for payment.

I would have love to also be part of history by purchasing pizza using Bitcoin in lightning network but unfortunately for me there's no place in my locality that offers such service maybe I just have to wait a little longer because with the rate of Bitcoin adoption I'm sure something like that will become operational and then I'll have the chance to partake in it. And maybe become the second Laszlo but instead of purchasing 2 pizzas with 10,000 Bitcoins, I'll purchase 10,000 pizzas with $2 worth of Bitcoin. Grin

So many beautiful stories, it's great to see such stories around. I see such stories all the time. It seems that Bitcoin has gained a much bigger spread worldwide due to which various products and services can be bought with Bitcoin. Buying Pizza With Bitcoin There is a historical story where a person named Laszlo Hanyecz bought a pizza with 10,000 bitcoins. At that time Bitcoin was first used to buy anything. And yet you can buy a pizza for just 25,740 Satoshis ($6) dollars. This shows how fast and how much Bitcoin has improved. congratulations man

I'm craving pizza now, and I tried to search for any pizza store that accepts bitcoin, but I couldn't find one. That is pretty cool now that it is easy to buy pizza in your place. For sure, a lot of shops there accept bitcoin as payment, but mostly they are using the traditional one and not the lightning network, which is why it has a high fee. You know the pizza for sure tastes better as you paid for it with bitcoin. I hope there will be a pizza shop that accepts bitcoin as payment so that I can also experience buying it using bitcoin.

I haven't actually, not many places offer that option.

Laszlo actually bought two large pizzas in 2018 with lightning. Here you can read more about it: https://stacker.news/items/142221

Here are the lightning pizzas from laszlo:

I actually bought a pizza to celebrate lightning pizza day though (25 Feb)

You have a unique and good experience,, and I want to congratulate you on buying your first pizza using bitcoin, but I personally have never bought pizza using bitcoin, and indeed in my country it seems that there are no shops that accept payments using bitcoin.

Great job! I wish I could buy goods locally with bitcoin, I would love to pay with bitcoin but sadly bitcoin is illegal where I live. Even people got arrested if found trading bitcoin or talking about bitcoin Grin

You are in the Elite list of people who bought Pizza with bitcoin, hope it was delicious.

I haven't actually and I'm still looking for those pizza stores or little restaurants where I can pay using bitcoin. Although I've done some transactions and paid using bitcoin but specifically for pizza, I haven't done it yet. If by a chance I see one on my way to any of my destinations, I'd be glad to stop by and do it.

So I ordered a pizza with black olive topping, it's cost for $6 or 25,740 Satoshis. When I have pay it, they're quite shocking because the fee is very very low. After that, they saying they have a plan to accept Bitcoin in lightning network payment because it will help the customer to not get charged for higher fees and they do get the same benefit too.

Topic title is saying that Lightning Network was used for purchase but from your post it looks like you paid with Bitcoin mainnet.
Lightning Network can be a bit confusing for newbies with all different custodial wallets, now we have Blue wallet temporary removing Lightning Network (temporary).
Maybe you can clarify this and tell us what wallet you used for sending this payment.

I have never bought a pizza using Bitcoin on the Lightning Network. How to buy Bitcoin in a country where 70%-80% of people don't know? And how to use bitcoins. And how can we do such things using Bitcoin in that country. But we won't give up hope that we too will one day be successful and buy pizza using bitcoins on the lighting network.

^ Not yet but I wanted to try, unfortunately, there is no store that accepts LN here in my country.
But anyway, congratulations on your first pizza purchase using BTC in the LN upon purchasing. This is an exciting moment for you and for the BTC community as a whole, I remember Pizza day.
By using the LN to purchase pizza, you have demonstrated the power and potential of this revolutionary technology. The LN is a second-layer solution that enables near-instant transactions with low fees, making it an ideal solution for microtransactions like buying a pizza or even coffee. As more businesses and merchants adopt BTC using LN, it becomes increasingly viable as a mainstream currency. You have made a meaningful contribution to the BTC community that becomes an inspiration to adopt BTC using LN transactions.

New history for you because you are one of the people who feels paying for pizza with bitcoin lol

On the other hand, there is also one thing that should be appreciated in this case, because if you do that and take the time to explain the lightning network, then indeed at this time there will definitely be an update regarding the Pizza shop that you buy by having other options in paying for bitcoins.
I want to do the same but unfortunately in my country payments like this are still not available hopefully in the future it will follow.

I am sure your pizza tastes better when you pay for them using BTC Cheesy

, Laszlo would be proud of you and everyone who has bought a Pizza using BTC Roll Eyes

. It is good that you had the opportunity to spend BTC and you took it, there are so many people who want to spend BTC but they cannot because of where they live. BTC is a currency and and i believe in the future people would be able to spend it from anywhere in the world. I hope you enjoyed your pizza and i would like to read more stories from other members on how they spent their BTC.

Wow great job but now let me say just one thing, you had the blue wallet installed but did you know that from April 30th support for LN custodial ends? Then move your sats while you can to another wallet.

I love pizza, and it looks delicious pizza!! 😋😋

I have never bought pizza using the bitcoin lightning network because no one in my area has provided this payment yet, even though there is, for example, using an on-chain network, I will definitely buy it but still it doesn't exist because it is still illegal because every payment is not allowed with bitcoin except fiats.

I hope someone finds this out later because anyway I want to keep trying to buy Pizza with bitcoin payments on lightning network.

I never used a lightning network. Thanks for mentioning one of the lightning network wallet names. I didn't know there were wallets for lightning network. I thought only whoever owns the node can do the transaction. My first Bitcoin usage was on an online casino website. But I didn't purchase anything with bitcoin before 2021. I bought some kind of subscription from a reseller and he was accepting bitcoin. I paid him via coinbase transaction. After that, I bought many things from online using Bitcoin as payment method. Not all of them are companies, Some resellers accept bitcoin. But, I will try lightning network. Not sure if they will accept lightning network or not. Let's give it a try.

You have made a unique way to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the first bitcoin purchase. Also, congratulations on your first personal purchase of pizza for btc.

Why is the BTC-community still not doing a similar flash mob? Are there few pizzerias that accept bitcoin?

I think this pizzeria could make a small discount and round up the price to 20.000 Satoshis in honor of this day. Maybe they just didn't know nothing about Laszlo pizza?

Nice and yummy, enjoy your pizza. I might post on my successful onlyfan payment via lightning network in the future, though I don't think the images of what I get in return would be appropriate to post here.🤣
