Global Bitcoin Pizza Day with 25,000+ Friends

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the infamous Bitcoin Pizza Day, we co-hosted PizzaDAO’s 5th annual Global Pizza Party. We threw down in NYC with an IRL event while 25,000+ friends across 400+ cities joined virtually. Not bad for a party built on breadsticks and blockchains. 🍕💥🗽

To kickstart the day, Hemi co-founder Max Sanchez hit the mic with PizzaDAO in a Spaces session that covered everything from decentralization to digital dough.

Give it a listen.

Hemi turned up the heat at the NYC hub. Scroll on for scenes straight from the floor. Spoiler: there was music, endless pizza, and yes…actual Ninja Turtles.

The FOOM NFT just launched and is ready for testing.

Minting costs about $0.50 in tokens. You’ll need 3000 HAIR and 100 MAX tokens, then approve the FOOM contract to spend those tokens before calling the mint function. Once minted, reload the page to see your new NFT. Pro tip: click the NFT image for fun hidden attributes like Cosmic Energy or Resonance Frequency.

This NFT is designed for fun — plus it’ll offer boosts and discounts for holders down the line.

So yes, Hemigos, two NFT drops landed this week in the Hemi Discord and are ready for you. Meanwhile, our Ambassador Program and Smash Karts Tournament have officially shifted from “Soon” to “Ludicrously Soon.”
