On the last school day before Dimanche, the whole world crypto community celebrated Bitcoin Pizza Day to recall the grand deal of acquiring two pizzas for 10,000 BTC back in 2010. The international crypto community got an alternative reason to celebrate how far Bitcoin has traveled: from an outlying concept to the financial mainstream asset, with their annual holiday.
Celebrations Across Social Media
As the day rolled on, social media kept teeming with most of crypto’s best-known personalities and die-hard followers sharing thoughts and anecdotes in celebration of the growth and transformation brought about by Bitcoin during its formative years. Of course, plenty have been tweeting images of pizzas and sharing stories, and in response to Bitcoin, under the hashtag #BitcoinPizzaDay, from one conversation medium to another.
Reflection on the Bitcoin Journey
That’s what Bitcoin Pizza Day is: an annual reminder of just how far bitcoin has come. The digital money that was in its early days and existed on the fringe of financial systems is now one of the biggest assets by market capitalization. Perhaps even more importantly than that, with the benefit of hindsight and at today’s current price levels, those stories testify to the exponential rate at which the price and the adoption of this preeminent asset have grown.
