​Ten thousand BTC for two pizzas wasn't a tragedy of lost gains, but the first successful stress test of Bitcoin’s utility as a medium of exchange.

​While most "Pizza Day" events focus on the astronomical dollar value of those 10,000 coins today, we are gathering in Darjeeling to discuss the technical leap required to move from static hoarding to a circular economy. We aren't here to lament the price; we're here to analyze the trade-offs between settlement finality and the practical necessity of spending.
