El Pizza Day se celebra cada año el 22 de mayo para conmemorar la primera transacción comercial realizada con Bitcoin. En 2010, un hombre llamado Laszlo Hanyecz compró dos pizzas de Papa John’s con 10.000 BTC, que en ese momento valían alrededor de $41. Esta compra histórica marcó un punto de inflexión para Bitcoin, ya que demostró que podía usarse para comprar bienes y servicios del mundo real. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.0 Este año el Pizza Day lo celebraremos en Can Pizza, Rambla del Poblenou, 127 de Barcelona a las 20h. https://canpizza.eu/ca/can-pizza-poblenou ¡Os esperamos a todos!
