Malaysia is playing host to potentially the world's largest Bitcoin pizza party to mark Bitcoin Pizza Day.
On 22 May 2010, a now infamous programmer bought two large pizzas with 10,000 BTC. "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, the programmer, <a href="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.0&amp;ref=blockhead.co">said</a> at the time.
At the time of purchase, 10,000 BTC was worth around US$40. That trade is now worth $27,9032,000. In 2021, Bitcoin reached its all time high of $68,789.63, making Hanyecz's pizzas worth over $687 million at its peak. The sale has since become a momentous date in the Bitcoin maxi calendar.
To commemorate the date this year, 500 local cryptocurrency and bitcoin enthusiasts will gather under one roof to eat, network, celebrate and party on 3 June 2023 in Malaysia.
