Every year on May 22, the crypto community celebrates Bitcoin Pizza Day, marking the first real-world Bitcoin transaction. On this day in 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC—worth just $41 then—for two pizzas. Today, that amount exceeds $1.1 billion, turning a casual meal into a legendary milestone. This moment not only proved Bitcoin's potential as digital money but also sparked a global movement. While Hanyecz has no regrets, calling it a “fun experiment,” the event serves as a powerful symbol of innovation, risk-taking, and how far crypto has come. Bitcoin Pizza Day is now honored with events, promotions, and reflection—celebrating the humble beginnings of a trillion-dollar revolution.
#TRX What is Tron? Tron's mission is to build a truly decentralized internet and aims to be the largest blockchain-based operating system in the world, known as the TRON protocol. The TRON protocol will offer high scalability, high availability, and high throughput computing to serve decentralized applications via smart contracts. Ethereum EVM-based smart contracts will be compatible and deployable on the TRON network as such Solidity developers do not have to rewrite their applications. Why Tron? Since TRON protocol does not rely on proof of work or mining, instead governed by nodes located around the world, it is decentralized while providing high throughput for transactions on the blockchain. This is suitable for dapps that require high speed transactions especially games. There are a number of tokens already issued on the TRON network and the decentralized exchanges TRX.market has launched. On July 24th 2018, TRON acquired BitTorrent, one of the largest P2P file sharing protocol. As a result of the acquisition, BitTorrent Token (BTT) was launched as the cryptocurrency to power the economics on the BitTorrent network. The Token will be used to inceltivize file sharing and storage within the network.
$BTC Bitcoin has soared to an all-time price high, but will it continue? Advocates of the world’s largest cryptocurrency hope its value will continue to soar when Donald Trump returns to the White House.
After the price of bitcoin surged from approximately US$69,000 (£54,000) the day before the election on November 5 to nearly US$100,000 now. Bitcoiners are keeping their eyes focused on what happens next in US politics.
Small wonder. As a candidate, Trump pledged to make the US the “crypto capital of the planet” and said he would back a bitcoin strategic reserve, which would order the US to purchase and hold bitcoin for an indefinite amount of time.
Trump even suggested that the US might one day pay off its national debt in cryptocurrency. Many of Trump’s future cabinet members and inner circle are reportedly pro-crypto, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has said he holds “most” of his net worth in bitcoin.
With a bullish outlook, other Trump-aligned politicians are jumping on the Bitcoin bandwagon. Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming has proposed the Bitcoin Act of 2024, which would increase the stash of US government-owned bitcoin and potentially shore up US supremacy in a budding geopolitical competition to horde the asset.
