Bitcoin Pizza Day marks the moment Bitcoin moved from theory to reality – from code to culture.
Every year, CryptoMondays London goes big on Bitcoin.
This is that night.
From the first 10,000 BTC pizza to a global monetary network, Bitcoin has evolved far beyond what anyone imagined. And today, it’s no longer just an asset or ideology.
It’s infrastructure.
It’s energy.
It’s culture.
It’s IRL.
This special edition brings together some of the UK’s most active builders, operators, and thinkers to explore what Bitcoin actually looks like in the real world – and where it’s going next.

A high-signal evening exploring:
- Bitcoin’s evolution from experiment to global system
