I just want to know why we would like to have bitcoin day when we don't even have something like Dollar day or Euro day anyway?
Because we're trying to raise awareness of Bitcoin, not of Euro or Dollar, which everyone already know.

What would happen if everyone in the world used Bitcoin for one day?

Would it be something like May 1? No work that day?
I liked the Jan 3rd suggestion so far. The reason behind it seemed like the strongest I've heard so far.

It's a good idea I think the time will come someday when we can maybe do this but probably not this year.
Five have pitched in so far

As a reminder of bitcoin limited supply the date of the bitcoin day should change every four year to match halving time.
First four year would have been Jan 3rd
Next four year December 28
There could then be two celebration on the year of halving, the previous one and the next one.
More reason to party is always good.
Next btc day would be 2015-12-28
Next halving estimated date : 2016-07-29
2017-07-29
2018-07-29
2019-07-29

January 3rd isn't just some random day though. It was the day when the Bitcoin blockchain was officially released
well, that's pretty cool. i didn't know that. if the holiday season could be extended to include jan. 3, that would be awesome. 
i'd love it if they replaced christmas with it instead of made bitcoin day be on some random day.

Quote from: Bitcoin Wiki
The coinbase parameter (seen above in hex) contains, along with the normal data, the following text:
This was probably intended as proof that the block was created on or after January 3rd, 2009, as well as a comment on the instability caused by fractional-reserve banking.

It's even listed on Wikipedia:
Quote from: Wikipedia
The first block of the blockchain of the decentralized payment system Bitcoin, called the Genesis block, was established by the creator of the system, Satoshi Nakamoto.

Curiously, searching for "January 3rd" on these forums reveals another attempt to establish a "Bitcoin Day" so the concept definitely isn't new:

i'd love it if they replaced christmas with it instead of made bitcoin day be on some random day. then we'd have enough publicity for every day to be christmas instead of just one day. ppl don't give a shit about the gods anymore anyway

If theyll organizae something like that in our city, I will gladly join.
For those who don't already know, January 3rd, 2009 is the date of the creation of the genesis block:
Some form of voting system should be possible. I know there are already altcoins out there that have implemented decentralized voting (e.g. NXT, BitShares, and Qora). Something similar might be possible using a Blockchain 2.0 system based on Bitcoin such as Mastercoin or Counterparty.
EDIT: The Bitcoin Foundation recently used the Counterparty protol to hold an on-blockchain vote so this could definitely be an option:

great idea. we as community can make the difference and make more non tech people aware of bitcoin and its benefits.
i'm sure if they know what it is and why it is better than traditional payment options they will definitely set a first step towards using bitcoin.
Yes it's a great idea, the problem is reaching a consensus. How do we decide the day that becomes Bitcoin day in a decentralized community? i'm sure if they know what it is and why it is better than traditional payment options they will definitely set a first step towards using bitcoin.

Of course it would be supported.
There needs to be a designated day where we can support and raise awareness for Bitcoin.

what about the day that satoshi introduced the bitcoin white paper to the world? sounds very reasonable to me.
We already have bitcoin pizza day and bitcoin black Friday. Those days suit people who already use bitcoin and might encourage a few newbies to start. International bitcoin day might work if more people start using bitcoin, but IMO not enough use it right now to expect everyone to use it for a day.
Bitcoin pizza day isn't celebrated as much as we would think it is actually. There's about 200 odd people who actually show an interest. It would work if each bitcoin member buys someone a bitcoin with pizza,
actually have another good idea in mind, op contact me. This idea you might like it
Done! I subscrie to the system!
That a great idea. Lets hope it will be awesome on January 3rd!
