Bitget, the prominent cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, recently organized a series of global events to commemorate Bitcoin Pizza Day. These gatherings, spanning across Asia, South America, and other continents, honored the pioneering Bitcoin transaction and celebrated the growth and community spirit within the crypto industry.

On May 22, Bitcoin Pizza Day is observed, marking the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin. In 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made a historic purchase of two pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoins, currently valued at $670 million. This milestone has become a legendary moment in the crypto community. This year, Bitget hosted events worldwide to commemorate this achievement and unite crypto enthusiasts, traders, and innovators.

From May 19 to 22, Bitget hosted and co-hosted 20 offline events across five continents, including Asia, Europe, and Oceania. These events attracted 3,000 participants, celebrating this special day together. Notable events included Bitget's Pizza Day meetups in Brisbane, Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, and Taipei. In Taipei, Steve Chen, the former founder of YouTube, joined Bitget's celebration. In Australia, the event was co-hosted with the Australian DeFi Association and the All Things Blockchain community, featuring networking, pizza sharing, blockchain discussions, and Bitget insights. In Sao Paulo, Bitget partnered with Domino's Pizza, and a dedicated trading event took place in Buenos Aires.

Bitget also collaborated with PizzaDAO to sponsor events in key cities like Tokyo, Madrid, Lisbon, and Zurich, promoting community engagement and grand-scale celebrations. These events have become opportunities for crypto enthusiasts to earn rewards. Bitget created a 3D video to spread the message, and Bitget India is offering 100% USDT APR for new users on Bitget Earn until June 16.

Gracy Chen, Bitget's Managing Director, emphasized the significance of Bitcoin Pizza Day: "Celebrating this day reminds us of how cryptocurrency evolved from a novel concept to a revolutionary force in finance. It honors early adopters who believed in decentralized technology and encourages exploring resourceful uses for cryptocurrencies. At Bitget, we're proud to bring the global community together to celebrate this milestone and reflect on the industry's progress."

Bitcoin Pizza Day serves as a reminder of Bitcoin's humble beginnings and exponential growth, from 0.003 cents in 2010 to approximately $69,000 today. This rise highlights the evolution of the financial landscape and Bitcoin's journey from an obscure digital currency to a widely recognized financial instrument. The events hosted by Bitget are not only celebrations but also opportunities to reflect on the achievements and future potential of cryptocurrencies.
