Here’s What Binance Got Up to on Bitcoin Pizza Day 2023
Main Takeaways
Binance marked Bitcoin Pizza Day on May 22 with a series of online and in-person events worldwide.
Binancians joined us in Italy for our pizza competition. They also searched for clues to find Binance pizza vans in Vietnam, Bahrain, and Brazil. We even had pizzeria takeovers in Cambodia, Uruguay, Mexico, and Argentina!
For those who couldn’t make it in person, there were plenty of online activities too. Our Bitcoin Pizza Day Collect & Win competition will even let you win the BTC equivalent of a year’s supply of pizza!
With another Bitcoin Pizza Day under our belt, here’s your chance to see all the ways we celebrated the special event.
Why Celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day?
Bitcoin Pizza Day is more than just the simple purchase of two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. The transaction showed that cryptocurrencies could actually be used for real-world transactions. Celebrating the day is an important reminder of crypto’s early days and how far we’ve come. We’ve seen so much change and innovation in just under 15 years, and we can look forward to realizing more of crypto’s full potential in the future.
Pizza-Making Competition in Naples
When it comes to pizza, the Italians know best. So what better way could we have celebrated the day than at a pizzeria in Naples, Italy? Our pizza-making contest saw Binancians go head-to-head to prove who had the best skills in the kitchen. Of course, there was plenty of free pizza for all attendees!
Pizzeria Takeovers in Cambodia, Pakistan, Uruguay, Argentina, and Mexico
There’s no better venue than a pizzeria when it comes to Bitcoin Pizza Day. In Phnom Penh, Cambodia, a local pizza restaurant hosted a community meetup on Sunday, May 21.
Binancians in Montevideo, Uruguay, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Mexico City also took the opportunity to meet and share a slice at local pizzerias on Monday, May 22.
In Pakistan, Binancians also searched for clues to discover the exact location and city of a Binance-branded pizzeria.
Pizza Vans Across Brazil, Bahrain, and Vietnam
On Monday, May 22, in Rio de Janeiro, and Tuesday, May 23, in Bahrain, Binance pizza vans spread some Bitcoin love through pizza.
Thursday, May 25, saw another Binance pizza van offering slices in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Binancians who could solve our clues and hints about the exact locations could get their hands on some free pizza to celebrate the day!
Free Pizza & Crypto in Colombia & New Zealand
In Bogotá, Colombia, on May 22 and 23, we welcomed new and old Binancians to some free pizza. Two pizzerias across the city hosted our special celebrations, handing out branded pizzas to the local crypto community.
To celebrate Binance Pizza Day in New Zealand, we partnered with one of the country’s most iconic pizza chains. Bitcoin prizes were hidden inside special Binance Pizza boxes for lucky winners to find. How’s that for a Pizza Day surprise?
CZ in Dubai and on Binance Live for Some Pizza Action
When it comes to Bitcoin and pizza, CZ knows a thing or two. After dropping into the Dubai office and handing out some slices, CZ jumped onto Binance Live for our online celebration. You can watch back the session here and learn more about what Bitcoin Pizza Day means to CZ and our community.
