On May 22, 2010, crypto pioneer Laszlo Hanyecz purchased two pizzas with 10,000 BTC. This was not only the first physical transaction in the history of cryptocurrencies but also the first embodiment of the currency attributes of BTC. Now, fourteen years have passed, and the cryptocurrency industry is maturing.
In order to pay tribute to early crypto pioneers like Laszlo Hanyecz and spread their spirit of bravery, adventure, and innovation to every corner of the world, OKX Web3, a long-term builder in the crypto industry, has built a unique Bitcoin Time Museum in the streets of Taipei during the 2024 Bitcoin Pizza Day. It has attracted tens of thousands of visitors to travel through time and look back on the development history of Bitcoin.
During the event, more than a thousand people visited the Time Museum to take photos and enjoy the festivities. They also participated in fun games to win customized pizzas, beer, and merchandise provided by OKX Web3. In addition, Professor Liao Shih-wei from National Taiwan University’s Department of Computer Science, well-known crypto KOL Saint Satoshi, computer science girl Li Tingting, and founder of DA Studio Zijun, all came to the scene to take photos.
Of course, it is worth mentioning that OKX Web3 also launched a “Pizza Day Street Challenge” on Pizza Day. On this day, they took to the streets with seemingly “ordinary” cards to surprise those who dare to try new things. This aims to pay tribute to the changemakers and pioneers in the crypto industry like Laszlo Hanyecz and spread the spirit of bravery, where brave people enjoy the world.
Looking back on the development history of Bitcoin, we cannot help but marvel at the power of creation and innovation.
On November 22, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto published a paper on an online cryptography forum, describing the Bitcoin electronic cash system for the first time. Then, on January 3, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto successfully mined the first block of Bitcoin, called the “Genesis Block,” on a small server in Helsinki, Finland, and received the first 50 BTC mining reward.
As time went on, Bitcoin gradually attracted more attention. On January 23, 2010, BitcoinTalk forum user Sabunir released an interesting topic: “Test for beginners – Does anyone want to buy a picture for $1?” He asked if anyone would be willing to purchase a wallpaper with a resolution of 1280×960 for 1 BTC and left his wallet address. Just a month later, the 50 BTC was sent to his address, becoming the first publicly known Bitcoin real-world transaction.
On May 22 of the same year, Bitcoin reached another milestone. Crypto pioneer Laszlo Hanyecz purchased 2 pizzas with 10,000 BTC, marking the first public Bitcoin purchase of physical goods. This event not only demonstrated the practicality of Bitcoin in real life but also became the origin of the annual Pizza Day in the industry.
As time went by, the influence of Bitcoin continued to expand. On January 14, 2012, Bitcoin made its first appearance in the US TV series “The Good Wife,” further increasing its popularity among the public. Subsequently, the price of Bitcoin continued to rise. In March 2017, the price of one Bitcoin surpassed the price of an ounce of gold for the first time. And on November 28 of the same year, the Bitcoin trading price surpassed the $10,000 mark for the first time.
On May 12, 2020, the 630,000th block was mined, and the Bitcoin block reward decreased from 12.5 BTC to 6.25 BTC. This was the third halving event in Bitcoin’s history. This event marked the increase in mining difficulty and the reduction of rewards for Bitcoin, but it also promoted the security and stability of the Bitcoin network.
In recent years, Bitcoin’s acceptance has been increasing worldwide. Especially this year, on January 10, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the first Bitcoin spot ETF, marking Bitcoin’s official entry into the mainstream financial market and signifying a structural change in the Bitcoin-centric crypto market.
As early builders in the industry, OKX Web3 not only pays tribute to industry pioneers but also continues to contribute to the development of the Bitcoin ecosystem.
So far, OKX Web3 has launched the Ordinals, Atomicals, and Runes markets on its wallet, allowing users to experience the latest developments in the Bitcoin ecosystem in real-time. It also provides users with a one-stop entry to explore the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Additionally, as the Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve, the OKX Web3 team is actively involved in various aspects of Bitcoin ecosystem construction, including wallet tools, browsers, trading markets, protocol standards, cross-chain bridges, and Bitcoin Layer2, among others. In the future, OKX Web3 will adhere to the spirit of innovation and embark on a new journey together with the crypto industry.
