OKX Web3, as a tribute to the early pioneers of cryptocurrency, has created a unique Bitcoin Time Museum in Taipei during the 2024 Bitcoin Pizza Day. This museum attracted tens of thousands of people to travel through time and revisit the history of Bitcoin development.
During the event, over a thousand people visited the museum to take pictures and enjoy the festivities. They also participated in fun games to win customized pizzas, beers, and other benefits provided by OKX Web3. Additionally, prominent figures such as Professor Liao Shiwei from National Taiwan University, well-known crypto KOL St. Stone, computer science prodigy Li Tingting, and DA Studio founder Zi Jun, came to the venue to leave their marks.
Furthermore, OKX Web3 initiated a “Pizza Day Street Challenge” on the day of Pizza Day. They took to the streets with seemingly “ordinary” cards to surprise those brave enough to try new things. The aim was to pay tribute to the pioneers and innovators in the cryptocurrency industry, like Laszlo Hanyecz, and to convey the spirit of brave individuals enjoying the world first.
Looking back at the history of Bitcoin development, we can’t help but marvel at the power of creation and innovation.
On May 22, 2010, crypto pioneer Laszlo Hanyecz purchased two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. This was not only the first physical transaction with cryptocurrency but also the first demonstration of the currency properties of BTC. Now, fourteen years later, the cryptocurrency industry is maturing.
To pay tribute to early pioneers like Laszlo Hanyecz and spread their spirit of bravery, adventure, and innovation to the world, OKX Web3, as a long-term builder of the crypto industry, built a unique Bitcoin Time Museum in Taipei during the 2024 Bitcoin Pizza Day. This museum attracted tens of thousands of people to travel through time and revisit the history of Bitcoin development.
During the event, over a thousand people visited the museum to take pictures and celebrate together. They also participated in fun games to win customized pizzas, beers, and merchandise provided by OKX Web3. Additionally, prominent figures such as Professor Liao Shiwei from National Taiwan University, well-known crypto KOL St. Stone, computer science prodigy Li Tingting, and DA Studio founder Zi Jun, came to the venue to leave their marks.
Of course, it’s worth mentioning that OKX Web3 also launched a “Pizza Day Street Challenge” on Pizza Day. They took to the streets to surprise those brave enough to try new things with seemingly “ordinary” cards. This initiative aimed to pay tribute to the changemakers and pioneers in the crypto industry, like Laszlo Hanyecz, and to convey the spirit of brave individuals enjoying the world.
As time goes on, the influence of Bitcoin continues to expand. On January 14, 2012, Bitcoin made its first appearance in the American drama “The Good Wife,” further increasing its popularity among the public. Since then, the price of Bitcoin has continued to rise. In March 2017, the price of one Bitcoin surpassed the price of an ounce of gold for the first time. On November 28 of the same year, the trading price of Bitcoin broke through the $10,000 mark for the first time.
Fast forward to May 12, 2020, when the 630,000th block was mined, the block reward for Bitcoin decreased from 12.5 BTC to 6.25 BTC, marking the third halving event in Bitcoin history. This event signifies an increase in mining difficulty and a decrease in rewards, but it also promotes the security and stability of the Bitcoin network.
In recent years, Bitcoin’s acceptance worldwide has continued to grow. Especially on January 10, this year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the first Bitcoin spot ETF, marking Bitcoin’s formal entry into the mainstream financial market and signaling 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.
Up to now, OKX Web3’s wallet has launched markets such as Ordinals, Atomicals, and Runes, allowing users to experience the latest developments in the Bitcoin ecosystem firsthand. It also provides users with a one-stop gateway to explore the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Furthermore, as the Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve, the OKX Web3 team is constructing various aspects of the Bitcoin ecosystem, including wallet tools, browsers, trading markets, protocol standards, cross-chain bridges, and Bitcoin Layer2. In the future, OKX Web3 will uphold the spirit of innovation and embark on a new journey with the crypto industry.
