🍕 BITCOIN CASH PIZZA DAY 2026 — NIGERIA 🇳🇬

For four years running, the BCH Nigeria community has hosted Bitcoin Cash Pizza Day, honouring Laszlo Hanyecz's legendary 10,000 BTC pizza transaction on May 22, 2010. The first real-world cryptocurrency purchase in history.But we don't just remember it. We re-enact it.🍕 Every year. Real merchants. Real BCH payments. Real pizza. Real adoption.For us, Bitcoin Cash Pizza Day is more than just celebrating history. It's about giving people the real Bitcoin Cash experience.It's about showing people, right in front of their eyes, how Bitcoin Cash works in real life. Sending value instantly from one wallet to another. Paying merchants seamlessly. Proving that peer-to-peer electronic cash actually works.That experience is what changes the narrative. That's what changes the story.When someone sees how little the fees are, how fast the transaction arrives, and how a merchant receives payment instantly, it creates a real physical connection to Bitcoin Cash. It stops being theory and becomes something practical, useful, and real.One person sending BCH from their wallet to a merchant, and the merchant receiving it instantly. That moment matters. That's the experience we want people to remember.This year, the 5th annual celebration, we are going bigger than ever. 🔥✅ OUR TRACK RECORD: FOUR YEARS DOCUMENTEDThis is not a new idea.

A growing community that shows up every May 22nd.Last year we honoured Roger Ver, the voice who fought to keep Bitcoin Cash as real peer-to-peer money. This year we carry that spirit forward by doing exactly what he has always pushed for. Spending it.Because that's what Pizza Day really is. An experience.One person opens their wallet. They scan. They send. The merchant's phone pings with payment received. Instantly. For almost no fee. No bank. No middleman. No waiting.That is the moment that changes someone forever. That is the moment they stop seeing Bitcoin Cash as theory and start seeing it as money.Pizza Day is not just an event in Nigeria. It is a movement built on those moments, multiplied year after year, person after person, merchant after merchant.This year in Yola, we are scaling it. Onboarding multiple merchants in one go, feeding fifty-plus people, and creating fifty-plus of those exact moments where someone touches peer-to-peer cash for the first time and never forgets it.Help us make Pizza Day 2026 the biggest celebration yet. 🍕🇳🇬⚡
