MEXC Vietnam Pizza Day Event Guide: Taking You on a Culinary Journey to Experience the MX Feast!
Bitcoin and Pizza Origin Story: The 10,000 $BTC Pizzas!
On May 18th, 13 years ago, an American computer programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz received Bitcoin as a reward for maintaining the Bitcoin network system. At that time, one Bitcoin was worth less than one cent according to the market value. Hanyecz held 10,000 Bitcoins, worth only $41 at the time. Bitcoin didn't have the value it does today. Hanyecz didn't think Bitcoin had much intrinsic value as it couldn't be used for real-world transactions and wasn't circulating as freely as it is today. An idea struck Hanyecz: he wanted to exchange some real-world items of actual value for his 10,000 Bitcoins. "Whatever it is, if it can really be exchanged, it must be wonderful!" So on the BitcoinTalk forum, this engineer posted a message offering to exchange his 10,000 Bitcoins for two large pizzas. At the same time, a young Bitcoin miner named Jeremy Sturdivant replied to the message and confirmed the transaction. On May 22nd, Hanyecz received two large pizzas. The next day, Jeremy Sturdivant received 10,000 Bitcoins.
A Giant Leap Forward for Bitcoin
This seemingly insignificant transaction became one of the most profound events in the history of cryptocurrency: it was the first physical transaction involving cryptocurrency! These two pizzas gradually established consensus for blockchain technology in the real-world economic ecosystem. Since then, Bitcoin has gained the trust of a wide range of users. From that day on, crypto enthusiasts celebrate "Bitcoin Pizza Day" every year on May 22nd.

MEXC Vietnam Team: Creating Diversified Interactions And Enriching Personal Experiences
The MEXC Vietnam team was established on June 1, 2021, and after less than three years, we have gained the support and attention of a large number of local Vietnamese MEXCers across four different media channels, based on local online social preferences:
1. Telegram group: MEXC Vietnam Telegraph Group was established on July 15, 2020. The current number of Vietnamese members is 24,141.
2. Facebook: The MEXC Vietnam Facebook page was created on March 15, 2021. The current number of Vietnamese followers is 9,970.
3. Facebook community: MEXC Vietnam Facebook community was established on July 6, 2021. The current number of members we have is 13,134.
4. Twitter: The MEXC Vietnam Twitter account was registered in May 2020. Currently, we have 5,641 followers.
It is worth noting that the MEXC Vietnam Telegram, MEXC Vietnam Facebook page, and MEXC Vietnam Twitter were all created before the MEXC Vietnam operation team was established. Therefore, MEXC's services to local MEXCers in Vietnam are constantly deepening, from interactive online community activities to face-to-face communication offline.
Diversified Offline And Online Interaction
* The MEXC Vietnam team has been conducting a series of in-person fan meetups since its inception. The first user meetup was held on January 13, 2023. Vietnam is a football-obsessed country: its cafes and restaurants are filled with soccer fans watching the games. For this reason, the MEXC Vietnam team will actively hold football-themed in-person events, combined with digital currency, to bring a multi-dimensional interactive experience to MEXCers in Vietnam.
* Vietnam is a rapidly growing economy in Southeast Asia. The popularity of cryptocurrency trading in Vietnam has been equally rapid, with about 16.6 million people owning digital currencies, around 17% of the total population. As a result, the MEXC Vietnam team holds monthly exclusive trading events for Vietnamese MEXCers, giving away exclusive and limited MEXC gifts through trading results.
* Every week, the Vietnam team will organize various mini-events with Vietnamese themes, such as logo quizzes, digital currency idioms, check-in events for local festivals (Reunification Day, Hùng Kings' Festival), etc.,building community among Vietnamese MEXCErs through diversified reward activities combined with local culture. We also hope our MEXCers can learn more about blockchain technologies while having fun.
* Contributing to the local community has always been a part of MEXC's corporate culture, and the MEXC Vietnam team regularly participates in various charitable activities—such as visiting orphanages and nursing homes—to help those in need in Vietnam.
