Bitcoin Forum

Hi,

I was wondering is there a designated date when people around the world celebrate Bitcoin invention or creation of cryptocurrencies in general? I mean commonly accepted tradition, something like International Programmers' Day (https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/world/international-programmers-day):


I think it would be fun to have such a day for the crypto community  ;)

there is Bitcoin Pizza Day which is celebrated on May 22. as you now Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for 10 000 BTC and this fact made bitcoin famous. I think this purchase made very much for promoting bitcoin.

I like and support this proposal. Bitcoin a digital online currency have no observing day. Bitcoin international observing day should be proposed. One say people take a better step to observe it as internationally.

every day is the best day for the cryptocurrency community
we can see how much we get from valuable information in this forum
every day, is our day

In my opinion this is hard to do, because Bitcoin is not popular worldwide, some countries accept Bitcoin, but others do not accept Bitcoin. Bitcoin does not depend on any country. But if there is a big country that makes a day for Bitcoin, I think, they will spread around the world and gradually be known.

Neither when I thought about such a day, but I think buying pizza played its huge role and how much growth after that went on the schedule, and a lot of seias still coins past bitcoin, so you need to call it another Day Altcoin Day!)))

No we don't have any such day to remember the greatest financial invention of this decade because we live everyday with bitcoin. May 22, is the only day that is celebrated as bitcoin pizza day. If you are willing to know the story behind it, try googling it.

But I have a great idea to celebrate a day dedicated to bitcoin. While most of such "days" are constant in nature, lets have dynamic days for bitcoin that will change every year. The idea is to pick a date in last year, when the bitcoin price reached the top position.

For example, bitcoin price reached its peak value on 17th December last year. So the bitcoin day will be celebrated on the same day in 2018 to remember the best performing day for bitcoin. For 2019, we will pick up the date from 2018. How is the idea?

It seems that until now has never been celebrated international bitcoin day, and if at any time there is an international bitcoin day I am very happy, and it needs to be held.

Why we even celebrate it on such a day? Instead celebrate it everyday? celebration that it is going up and is falling down. We are trusting bitcoin technology through thick and thin. :)

This is good idea to all bitcoin lover, how about the other crypto's it's better to include them in that day. Maybe it is best to make a title that include all digital currency, like "Digital Currency Day" "Blockchain Day" or
Crypto's Day and other suggestion out there.

It's great to have International Bitcoin Day in support of new technology and history as to how and when Bitcoin started. At this time, it's hard to have this celebration because there are more people in the world than bitcoin but it's time to be accepted by government and people.

It's really an international day for bitcoin currencies, and it would be a great thing to do to bring a positive impact on the development of the world of cryptocurrency.

For now it may still not be possible, because not all countries legalize bitcoin, so it is not possible to be given a birth warning of bitcoin worldwide, if only for disebuah communication may be realized. It is expected that in the future there will be a birthday warning bitcoin around the world, if bitcoin has been legalized in all countries.

Yes because the bitcoin is continued to get investor and result of bitcoin positive impact for us, So currencies support government for the event.

indeed the bitcon is worldwide but to be understood that not all countries can and legalize bitcoin, as in my own country, the authority associated with banking does not admit but does not prohibit to trade. so there are still many countries that can not receive fully. presumably to delay some more time.

That is very hard to do since bitcoin is decentralized. Organized groups who have a center agencies can make such programs and activities. In order for bitcoin to have such approved program and activities there must be an organization enlisted so they can propose a bitcoin day. There are legalities to be considered and I guess it is hard to do that except if we will make a consensus.

Well, it will be good to have one, and the best day will be when the first Bitcoin transaction was made, it will be good for the whole community and we should also choose a location that is very much associated to Bitcoin.

Why do we need to find a special day to celebrate? Every day is our celebration day. Every day, Bitcoin will bring us different things. Of course, Bitcoin has not yet been formally recognized by many countries in the world and these festivals will not be allowed.

That only possible if applied in country which not ban bitcoin, the government issue the policy about all special day. Bitcoin need more countries acceptance. Bitcoin's day will become a symbol of economy democracy. That is really good idea we should support this idea, it will be good for bitcoin.

I think also so. It would be nice to have a day of the programmer or the day the birth of cryptocurrency for the community. But, do we really need it? Can we get together every day though just sharing about the development of prices, new projects or the possibility of the creation of the new crypto without having to commemorate the day of the programmer or the birth of cryptocurrency

Why is that transaction had multiple inputs from a single address?
Those 1XPTgDRhN8RFnzniWCddobD9iKZatrvH4 input addresses are the same, so its balance must'd been totaled.
It supposed to be a single input transaction.

that is a cool idea but I think it may be too soon to get something like that. bitcoin is still pretty young and very small. and on top of that it has a lot of enemies these days that are attacking bitcoin constantly and spreading lots of FUD about it. you can't really get an international day for bitcoin as long as things are like this. bitcoin needs to at least grow more before getting a "day".

besides, unlike the "programmers' day" OP mentions, bitcoin has a "birth day" or starting day which you can consider bitcoin day. the day it started or the day of first block is a good one in my opinion.

I think that’s a very good and nice idea. I really think that with events like this and if comes to fruition then you can think that there would be a positive comment or feedback that people can view bitcoin to. That is one of our ways so that we can promote the bitcoin and the cryptocurrency with such flair, we the bitcoin community needs to work together so that the other people can see that we are proud of what we are doing so they can knwo there is nothing illegal or wrong with this

This is a great idea. I look forward to the day when Bitcoin becomes an international currency. Now that Bitcoin is still very young, many people continue to attack Bitcoin and spread a lot of FUD. When it has an international day, it can spread better around the world.

i guess this would be grate,maybe we will set up games in which more users will enjoy..some contest that has designated prices ..and most of all bonding with the mods,staffs and all the accounts around the world

Yeah, Pizza's day is rather famous day in bitcoin history. It could be considered as day of first real purchase with BTC

That's so nice idea. But it means some other coins will have their too like ethereum day :)

It would be really great if such thing happened. But , i don't think it will. There is no Dollar's Day or Euro's day. But ,if one day, bitcoin made an important impact on the world that revolutionized it and helped it evolve. I am sure that people will reserve a whole day for it. But, for now, we need to help it get more reputation ,and help this community getting bigger.

This could be a great day, this is awesome. For all the people using bitcoin all over the world, it would be a great idea for having International Bitcoin's day. In bitcoin's day, maybe there could be some fun games using bitcoin as a payment and different group chats from different people around the world to know other people and to have friends with them, in this way, we can promote bitcoin to other people too! Bitcoin can gain more fame and power once INTERNATIONAL BITCOIN DAY becomes true.

Yeah, I was also thinking about that. Bitcoin needs to draw more media attention. I mean, in positive way. This day should be special for community. Like you said, it could be discounts, free coins for poor men, maybe some gifts for children. Or maybe even increased rewards for miners...dreams dreams  :D

I understand that all this is difficult to establish globally. But it's always better to start somewhere right? As a first step we could create some kind of a poll right on this forum to choose an appropriate date.

Imagine in the future they will refer to this very discussion thread where "such a great celebration was pioneered".

Media attention is necessary in some point but main media companies prefer to ignore the reality and keep spreading FUD. Miners can handle ths bear market but why should they participate in such events? IMO they should keep their business instead of wasting their time for such events. Idea is good but there isnt good mechanism for keeping it alive.

I think the day when first ever block was mined should be considered as international bitcoin's day. Which is 3rd January 2009 but like many have argued the day when the first known transaction to buy something was occurred should be considered as bitcoin's day as it is one of the most popular event in bitcoin history followed by massive 10x price growth.

It would have to be 3rd of January but this is too close to new years, also this is normally when the market tanks! When was the whitepaper released by Satoshi? That should be bitcoin day - since we don't know who he is or his birthday it would have to be his bitcoin article publishing date.

It would be a great opportunity for charity auctions.

Anyway, they will have no choice if this event is enforced by blockchain consensus rules lol

Everyday is or can be bitcoin day. Invest and when you'll double your initial investment then that's your bitcoin day. Or you need a special certain day (like a rule) to celebrate?

I just thought it would be useful to dedicate such a special day. So that newspapers could write a lot about "all good things that happened during Bitcoin Day celebration". As was already proposed, online stores, which accept bitcoin, could promote discounts during this day or something like that.

So at the end of the day more people will associate the word Bitcoin with something nice, not with criminals.

I think i like this celebration of pizza rather than 'International Bitcoin's Day' IMO because he's too famous now for buying a two pizzas for 10,000 BTC, must have been a huge money if it were invested today. He's too famous on this forum because of that and people might wanna remember his name for his generous act of buying.  ;D

That is not a great thing. I think the bitcoin that day will be a lot of supporters. bitcoin will hit the highest value. All the nations of the world will participate in the International Bitcoin Day parade.

It would be so nice !!!

Thank you for all your replies!

Honestly, it's hard to find free time now. But I'll try to work on a small proof of concept in the following days. Maybe I'll also launch a poll in a new thread.

Bitcoin has made a lot of miracles and it has created a cryptocurrency market as of now, so on the day of bitcoin I wish the investors in the cryptocurrency market always succeed and good luck.

Even Bitcoin is not legal on all parts of the world. We can celebrate International bitcoins day but not them. But it is a great oppotunity to raise awareness on the great things crypto currency have. Who knows, maybe those country who banned bitcoin changed their mind and crypto currency would be freely used by all people around the globe. I wonder what date is it.

Virtually all modern smartphones have a built-in camera, which made it possible to use QR-codes as a common method of Bitcoin-communications.

That is a good idea. It can also serve as a thing to remember the rise of bitcoin. I think we can associate the day of birth of bitcoin as a national day of bitcoin. If it is realized then Bitcoin will become better known and will also become more influential in life. I support and will continue to work. We really need to think quickly so that something like this can happen, hopefully this forum can facilitate everything, I am very optimistic.

If we knew who created bitcoin, then it would be known the day of creation bitcoin))So you can choose every day like a holiday)))

To ensure the work and protect the system bitcoin, cryptography methods are used. All information about all transactions between any addresses of the system is available in clear form.

One more reason to celebrate something ::)

Economists also note another weak point: bitcoin strongly resembles a financial pyramid. The matter is that ordinary exchanges are interconnected and play the role of intermediary between the holder and the buyer of shares.

Oh, really? I didn't know that fact. Well, there's nothing wrong if we're gonna promote btc by considering the suggestions of OP, having a celebration of International Bitcoin Day i'm sure people will get too curious about btc. That way, digital currencies will spread all over the world.

Considering the alternative currency scenario, we can assume that the system can follow the technological characteristics of competitors without changing the fundamental part of the protocol itself.

International Bitcoin day and Google is celebrating it by replacing it two Os with the coins.  It may be the day when Bitcoin reaches the highest value of the decade. And it will reaches to the highest place as it is going popular day by day and the investments are also increasing within seconds so it will be the only future currency very soon.

There are some celbration about bitcoin but not the bitcoin itslelf, having a bitcoin celebration is good idea to get more people to get involve to bitcoin. But why we should celbrste in public? Giving a good opportunity to the thefts maybe we should wear mask like annonymous.

Today's bitcoin international bitcoin is where Satoshi Nakamoto who claimed to be the creator of Btc (bitcoin) sent a number of Btc to his colleague. This "transfer" is accompanied by "The Times 03 / Jan / 2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks".

Each and everyone of us have own opinion. On my end,  I rather wait than stressing myself,  seeing the trend up and down.  Just I rather be waited for years, I could think that as "Forget money"  which is very easy.  You just have to sit and relax and wait for years. 

I also liked this offer because bitcoin should be a digital currency cryptmarket, it should also be international day so that all the people connected with it enjoy this day.
thank you.

10,000 BTC? If only we could see the future. I certainly would have killed to buy a handful of Bitcoin when it was well under $100. But, thank you for the informational on which day was the day the first item was bought with Bitcoin!
