Binance is actively celebrating "Bitcoin Pizza Day"!
This annual event on May 22nd commemorates a significant moment in cryptocurrency history: the first known real-world transaction using Bitcoin. Back in 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.
Binance's celebrations this year include:
* Global Events: Pizza parties and community meetups are being organized in various cities around the world. For instance, Binance TR is hosting an event in Istanbul on May 17th.
* Online Promotions: Binance Square is running promotions where users can create posts with the hashtag #BinancePizza to win rewards. New Square users have the chance to share a 5,000 USDC prize pool, while all users can participate in another 1,000 USDC giveaway.
* Referral Rewards: A special referral program allows users to earn "pizza boxes" (worth up to 20 USD in BTC) for each friend they refer who completes specific trading activities. The top referrers can also win from an additional 50,000 USD prize pool.
* On-site Giveaways: In some locations, Binance is deploying pizza vans and hosting events with games and challenges where participants can win Binance merchandise and even Bitcoin prizes hidden in pizza boxes.
So, #BinancePizza is all about celebrating the history and growth of cryptocurrency through a fun, pizza-themed event!
