International Bitcoin's Day

[Sar elok]

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:

Programmers are greeted with positive comments like “Happy Programmer’s Day” in some work environments on International Programmers' Day. The observance is also mentioned among programming communities in online forums and social media, including on Facebook or Twitter.

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

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

22nd may 2010 (bitcoin pizza)

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

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.

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

[danscub]

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

[StonedWolf]

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.

The idea could be better if the community creates a Crypto Day - could be a discount policy as Black Friday + Several famous people promote some events like 50 cent did several weeks ago. Could be big, but it is decentralized and the money for such organization should come from us. It will definetly increase the BTC and ALT`s value.

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 

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".

Hello! What great idea! I like it and support it! But when? BTCBTCBTC

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.

[~Bitcoin~]

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.

[stuffokator]

why should they participate in such events?

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

[salamyman]

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.

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 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. 

[zwiggel]

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.
