Preston Bitcoin celebrates [Bitcoin Pizza Day] at LUPO x JB Social on Friday, May 22, marking the anniversary of the first real-world Bitcoin transaction in history.
On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas — the first time Bitcoin was ever used to purchase something in the real world. That moment is celebrated every year by Bitcoin communities around the globe.
The evening brings together locals over pizza with an opportunity to learn about Bitcoin. All are welcome.
The group meets regularly (follow their Instagram for upcoming dates), creating a space where questions are welcome and jargon stays at the door.
Bring your curiosity about Bitcoin’s role in your life, your community, or the broader economy. Real people, real talk, real Bitcoin.
What to Expect
- Open discussion and learning
- Practical help for beginners
- Technical chats for deeper dives
- A relaxed, respectful atmosphere
- We believe Bitcoin is for everyone — and so is this meet-up.
LUPO is a casual kitchen and bar in Freckleton, run by bitcoiners. Relaxed, welcoming, and they accept Bitcoin over Lightning. One of several great venues the meetup uses around Preston.
