So i saw this website a couple days back and was like "waaa, this would look cool if it were the bitcoin pizza day website" and that thought has now led to this...
You see, many people think Bitcoin Pizza Day is just a funny story about a guy who accidentally spent generational wealth on pizzas. Wealth that is worth about $800M today.
But for those of us in the bitcoin space, it’s much deeper than that. On May 22, 2010, Bitcoin made the jump from "internet experiment" to "real-world money." It was the first time two people reached a consensus that digital code was worth a supreme and a cheese pizza.
I’m working on this side project to preserve this history for the "normies." I’m building a clean, simple website that explains:
✅ The full backstory (beyond the headlines).
✅ Why that first trade was a technical necessity.
✅ Links to the OG Bitcointalk threads & the actual 2010 photos.
The goal? A site that doubles as a global presentation deck so anyone can teach the history of this historic day at their local meetups.
If you’re sitting on any rare resources, old IRC logs, or cool interviews related to Laszlo or Jercos, or anything at all - please drop them below!
