On May 25, 2024, the largest nightclub in downtown Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Gmue Club, became bustling with activity due to a striking pizza truck and a large group of young people. This was a large-scale Pizza Day celebration held by CoinEx, a global cryptocurrency exchange, in Malaysia, which attracted more than 150 cryptocurrency enthusiasts in Malaysia.
Pizza Day is a major event in the cryptocurrency community. The event was held to celebrate the fact that on May 22, 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz exchanged 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas. This was also the first time that someone used bitcoins to purchase physical goods, which was a historic milestone. Today, 14 years later, the value of 10,000 bitcoins has exceeded 7 billion US dollars. People in the cryptocurrency community have witnessed the development of Bitcoin.
Malaysia is one of the stops for CoinEx to celebrate Pizza Day around the world. It is also the first time for the brand to meet with fans offline in Malaysia, which is of great significance! CoinEx specially selected the most popular Gmue Club in Malaysia as the venue for this event. This event created a lively party atmosphere for local cryptocurrency enthusiasts and brought a rare carnival experience.
A special outdoor pizza cart was set up at the event site to provide fans with delicious pizza made on site, attracting the attention of all passers-by. The CoinEx Malaysian Ambassador also shared knowledge about blockchain with everyone on the spot, so that everyone could absorb the latest trends in the cryptocurrency circle while enjoying the food. In addition, CoinEx also prepared exciting on-site interactive sessions, including a quiz with prizes, and gifts such as CoinEx peripheral products, making the atmosphere even more lively. The After Party was held directly at Gmue, and surrounded by the warm music and joyful atmosphere on site, the atmosphere of the event was once again pushed to a climax.
"This event made me truly feel the charm of Bitcoin culture. For a cryptocurrency novice like me, it is great to be able to get close to other friends in this field at such a relaxed and comfortable party." shared a participant.
This gathering not only connected local cryptocurrency enthusiasts together, but also further deepened everyone's understanding of cryptocurrency. CoinEx said that in the future they will continue to hold more colorful offline fan gatherings in Malaysia to let everyone truly feel the charm and potential of the cryptocurrency circle.
