Bitcoin Pizza Day 2022

[kjlimo]

Interesting to see pizza day in a day in the bitcoin bearish phase and the price falling so some newbies were doing panic selling at lower prices while they can hold and all they need to do is to be patient and don't fall into the emotional trap just like happened on the pizza day. The guy who owned this amount of bitcoins and sold bitcoins because he didn't truly leave on it and couldn't hold it, I believe a few years later when the price reached much higher price the people who sold their asset at price will have the same feelings of the guy who traded bitcoins for a pizza.

Laszlo is quoted saying "To be fair, the pizzas were pretty good." Haha, so I think he has no regrets!

Also, it is important to note that Lsszlo didn't buy pizzas with bitcoin because he couldn't hold bitcoin or he was afraid, but because he wanted to prove that if you can buy food with bitcoin, its as good as any other money. And he indeed proved that

What I was trying to do was make it clear that I didn't want somebody to send me a Papa John's gift card, or a Domino's credit or anything like that - I wanted food and I wanted to pay Bitcoins for food. Because if I can buy food with it, then it's it's as real as any other money, right? Food is a basic necessity -- if I can eat from Bitcoin, I can live off of Bitcoin.

If I had my own pizzeria, I would run something like an advertising campaign using bitcoin's theme that day. I would offer customers a pizza with a design similar to yours (that is, using bitcoin logo and a similar theme) with the option to pay only in BTC. A small bonus to bitcoin connoisseurs who know about this significant day for this community.
None of the pizzeria chains thought of this?

None that I know of and that's just tells you how far away are we from mass adoption. Looking at the bright side of that, it means that we are still early.

It's great that you are having this event in honor of the famous Bitcoin pizza purchase. Somehow it made the ball rolling for Bitcoin. So it is really worth commemorating. That's a great day to look back in Bitcoin's history, and Laszlo is like a hero. So even if it's just juice or whatever, it's still nice remembering and honoring the day and the man.

I'm not sure if there is something like this happening in my area. There's probably none. Regardless, perhaps a cheers for Laszlo will do.

Each year, we have a Bitcoin pizza day and around this event, the market usually is not good.

It is unexplainable on my side but I think history has its power and most of the crowd obssessed and affected by history bull or bear. Keep it in my for Bitcoin movement next days and coming weeks. In order to rally, Bitcoin need to break out of the falling wedge and to have it, massive volume must come.

Now there is no massive volume and if it continues, price will fall more, very likely.

[Raflesia]

It should be celebrated on a weekend right on a Sunday where family gathering with delicious pizza dishes will certainly make people happy and I will tell they how Laszlo bought pizza 12 years ago so cheaply but if this happens now it's something very amazing.

I'll forget the bitcoin price dropped , right on this sunday should be my happy day with pizza passing by.

What are your plans for bitcoin pizza day this year?

Bummer that it falls on a Sunday!

I've only got 3 restaurants that accept bitcoin lightning network in my area and all three are closed on Sundays...

However, Tuesday, I am planning a get together in Brecksville, Ohio at Juice Lab.

At least you were able to find a crypto meetup near your location ^{[I couldn't find a single event near my place, so I'm stuck with what I've been doing in the past few years (ordering a pizza and using ketchup to decorate it with BPD-related stuff]}.
For those who mentioned not being able to pay with BTCitcoin because of the limited options, perhaps you can at least try paying for it in an indirect manner ^{[e.g. Bitrefill]}.

Update:

haha, I'm running the meetup... we'll see if anyone shows... as you can see there's one person "attending" right now, haha...

Oops! I misread that part As it stands, it's going to be one of those awkward 1 on 1 meetups

Bitcoin day celebration. I seen it like celebration that supposed to happen between the people who has bitcoin for long volume. And the celebration is not people that have no good quality of Bitcoin in wallet. But the celebration the way am seeing is like memory of the first thing Bitcoin is being used to buy after it small noticeable by the people. If I'm opportune ti see people who have Bitcoin like fiat money i will convince the person to invest more for bitcoins so that through Bitcoin pizza celebration i will be among of the family of Bitcoin pizza celebration

I usually end up buying 20 bucks worth of bitcoin a day, that is more than enough for a random day to be fair, because it is just one thing that we all know of but the reality is that there must have been plenty like that. People need to realize that all those times when bitcoin worth tiny cents there were tons of transactions as well.

I remember back in the day we paid under 1 dollar transaction fees and it was still like 0.01 bitcoin or so, and that was nothing, today the same amount worths about 300+ dollars, if we were to spend the same amount of bitcoin. Of course we do not spend that much anymore but that is thanks to dropping the fee in bitcoin too.

Could anyone of us, the admin, moderators or staff make some efforts to have Laszlo visit us once every year? Most appropriately on the bitcoin pizza day. I believe his account wasn't blocked and he wasn't as anonymous as Satoshi. I said this because the pizza was delivered to his house, if that be his permanent house, his address is known.
He could be contacted to make us feel great once again in this forum.

If happens, it will be a great even on the forum.

A historical post from Mr. Bitcoin Pizza is there: Pizza for bitcoins?

Personally, I feel we should give him peace. I can not say on behalf of him but if I was him, I would like to forget about it, the biggest mistake in my life. I don't want to talk about it in rest of my life if I was lazlo

Mate, this was not a mistake and Lazlo himself doesn't consider it as the biggest mistake of his life. I have watched his interview and he said he's not regretting his actions. He has embedded his name in bitcoin as long as bitcoin lasts, as the first man to make a bitcoin transaction.
Also consider this;
As at when Lazlo bought his pizza, btc was worth about $0.004 and 10,000 of it should be about $41. So, it still easy for anyone to buy two pizzas with $41. Even if he didn't spend it for pizza, eventually he would have blown it on other things.

Maybe the 10000 bitcoins might've gone for some other purpose or as a donation. As he made the transaction for pizza it have got added to the history. Another thing he could've got more number of bitcoins, if not one will not go for such a plan of buying pizza with bitcoin. He mentioned in the interview in a cool way that someone paid with their credit card and it delivered to him.

I'm "old enough" to remembet when blocks weren't full and we processed zero fee transactions,  haha.

He's very proud to have a famous record by purchasing 2 pizzas when Bitcoin was still new.

I can understand people might have an assumption he might regret it.
And to avoid regretting it, we can easily select a good strategy:
For Bitcoin spendings, it's always good practise to save some BTC for HODL and to use some BTC for purchase.
Keep it in a different wallet.
One for purchase, one for HODL.

It will help to have a good saving and store of value for personal money management.

What are your plans for bitcoin pizza day this year?

Same as I've been doing for the last 4-5 years, gonna bake my own bitcoin themed pizza. That is, If I have enough time. Worst case scenario is just ordering the pizza, but its not the same thing as making your own.

My last two bitcoin themed pizzas

 

Thats brilliant!

I am hoping to have Pizza tomorrow but I'm not sure if its going to happen on a Sunday.
I might have to resort to something like this but It will be a bit of improvisation on my
part I think.

Interesting to see pizza day in a day in the bitcoin bearish phase and the price falling so some newbies were doing panic selling at lower prices while they can hold and all they need to do is to be patient and don't fall into the emotional trap just like happened on the pizza day. The guy who owned this amount of bitcoins and sold bitcoins because he didn't truly leave on it and couldn't hold it, I believe a few years later when the price reached much higher price the people who sold their asset at price will have the same feelings of the guy who traded bitcoins for a pizza.

Laszlo is quoted saying "To be fair, the pizzas were pretty good." Haha, so I think he has no regrets!

Also, it is important to note that Lsszlo didn't buy pizzas with bitcoin because he couldn't hold bitcoin or he was afraid, but because he wanted to prove that if you can buy food with bitcoin, its as good as any other money. And he indeed proved that

Thats it, its a landmark event more because of this rather than what others think was an
exorbitant amount of Bitcoin to pay for Pizza.

That's true, and this is indeed enough to be a consolation in losing the middle market like this even though this is indeed something that is risky for some people but there are still many people who still commemorate this and this is very good to celebrate with joy

Even this person is willing to be a pizza seller in a day

[DaveF]

As someone from New York I think all chain pizza is not real pizza you can get some pizza gift cards from Bitrefill tomorrow and get 50% sats back.
But then you have to eat something that is only vaguely pizza like. As opposed to real pizza.

 in my area there are no shops/restaurants that accept bitcoin as direct payment. but that's not a problem for me. because today I have sold a little bit of my bitcoin and and then exchanged it for money. and will buy food such as pizza and the like for small parties with the family. and of course I will slip education about bitcoin to the family on this bitcoin pizza day. because my family has started to be interested in bitcoin. this is happiness when one family together holding bitcoin

[tazmantasik]

Every years celebrate with Pizza day I don't think how feeling by some one have sold their bitcoin to buy pizza, better about celebrate bitcoin pizza days not with not really remember again. I know how disappointed we are when selling altcoin and later price pump drastically, maybe this fell by some one have sold bitcoin with bigger amount to buy Pizza, maybe if try selling bitcoin nowadays he can purchase all Pizza store around the world not only get one part of Pizza only.
