An event to bring to-gather all fragmented cryptocurrency communities in the Philippines under one roof.
On the 24th of May 2024, 500 local cryptocurrency and bitcoin enthusiasts will gather under one roof to eat, network, celebrate and party. The organizers invite all those immersed in bitcoin, cryptocurrency and the blockchain to join in on the celebration with the larger crypto community in the Philippines.
“Not just any event—this is an immersive and all-encompassing celebration
with social networking to connect, expand and to empower the community.” –
Arravind Prabu, Co-Founder of CryptoBilis.
The History
On May 22, 2010, a programmer bought two large pizzas using 10,000 bitcoin.
“I’ll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas.. like maybe 2 large ones so I
have some left over for the next day.” – Laszlo Hanyecz, Programmer
It is one of the most historical real-world purchases just a year after the creation of bitcoin. The community then dubbed May 22 as Bitcoin Pizza Day to commemorate the historical transaction. Now, Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated annually among the community around the world. 14 years later, Bitcoin became capable enough to compete with the global currencies! This year bitcoin again breached its all-time high record high, crossing ₱4,000,000.00.
“To celebrate this success, we are inviting each and everyone in the crypto
space to join us at Brooklyn Warehouse Manila this year, on the 24th of
May!” – RC Pajaro, NFT Philippines Community Lead
“Bitcoin Pizza Day serves to remember and celebrate a milestone, a test
passed, a level-up for the most important cryptocurrency. But it is also a
reminder that small things, however insignificant they may seem, can
initiate great transformations in the world.” – Tomas Vaic, Trezor, Satoshi
Labs
“We work hard to build, provide and to grow in this space. But… sometimes
we just forget to have fun! We bring you Bitcoin Pizza Day to toast, eat
pizzas, network, and build relationships!” – Mike Biag , CryptoBilis
