According to U.Today, Anthony Pompliano, a venture investor and founder of Pomp Investments Bitcoin private credit fund, has humorously suggested that Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto missed a significant opportunity by not aligning the Bitcoin halving day with April 20. This date is recognized as 'weed day' and more recently, as 'Dogecoin Day'. Pompliano's tweet suggested that Nakamoto could have further ingrained Bitcoin into the consciousness of the general public by aligning it with a day symbolizing opposition to the system, a sentiment that Bitcoin was created to embody.
In response to Pompliano's tweet, several members of the Bitcoin community argued that the Bitcoin halving event did not miss the 4/20 day in the U.K. and the EU due to the time zone difference with the U.S. They suggested that the halving took place on April 20 in these regions, and one user even suggested that Nakamoto, believed to be based in Europe, may have kept the 4/20 date in mind.
April 20, previously known only as 'weed day', has also become 'Dogecoin Day' in recent years, celebrated by the Dogecoin community worldwide. Various cryptocurrency platforms, including popular meme coin Floki, have posted tweets to celebrate Dogecoin Day with their communities.
