BITCOIN PIZZA DAY MEETS THE WORLD OF NFTS THROGUH ‘PIZZA DAO’

WTF is Bitcoin Pizza Day? 

So this isn’t a long story, but it is a cool one. On May 22nd, 2010, Florida native Laszlo Hanyecz enabled the first blockchain transaction for IRL goods by posting a bounty on a message board for someone to buy him a pair of pizzas for 10,000 BTC in Jacksonville, Florida. A pittance at the time, this sum recently topped $600 million dollars when bitcoin hit its ATH of $64,899.00, Papa John’s delivered Laszlo two piping hot pizzas and a shrewd early adopter made over half a billion dollars with one phone call to his local pizzeria. Even at the time, the anonymous British man who supplied the pizzas made a smart investment spending $25 for $41 worth of Bitcoin at the time.

Sometime in early March, a group of digital artists and crypto natives decided, in a Clubhouse room, that not only should pizza be free but that they would use the bleeding edge of the crypto space to fund the world’s largest pizza party. By selling NFT art pieces and structuring their community as a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) the collective at rarepizzas.com made history by dishing out over 14,000 hot pizza pies at an average cost of $25 a pizza. Laszlo got twice the amount of pizza for the same price but “Fiat gonna Fiat” amirite? With over 300 pizza shops onboarded around the world, the international pizza party went off without a reported hitch.

Ballin Miami’s Best Kept Secret, one of only two onboarded restaurants in the South Florida area, participated in Bitcoin Pizza day, and in keeping with the theme of “rare pizzas,” we highlighted an eclectic menu of toppings, some of which included: alligator, lamb, and jerk chicken.  Not to mention a variety of vegan options also made available….
