Bitcoin Pizza Day: The Day Bitcoin Bought Something Real
There is a funny little story in Bitcoin history: someone once paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.
At first, it sounds like a meme. Or a tragic loss.
But Bitcoin Pizza Day is not really about pizza. It is about the first moment Bitcoin stopped being just software running between cypherpunks and became something people could use to buy something in the real world.
Because before exchanges, before ETFs, before hardware wallets, before “Bitcoin is worth ₹X lakh,” there was one simple question:
Can this internet money actually be used between two people?
On 23 May, we’re meeting in Chennai to talk about that moment, eat pizza, and use the story as a doorway into why Bitcoin still matters today.
If you plan to attend, please pay Rs.99 here: https://rzp.io/rzp/h1sOcgz
This is to keep casual subscriptions at bay and also to help us plan.
And we're not just celebrating in Chennai, but across India.
Wherever you are in the country, there's a room nearby:
