Pizza Day Party brings together the CryptoMondays New Orleans community at The Nieux Society on Friday, May 22 to celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day.
Bitcoin Pizza Day marks one of the most legendary moments in cryptocurrency history — on May 22, 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made the first real-world commercial transaction using Bitcoin, paying 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. At the time, that amount was worth roughly $41. Today, those same coins would be valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The trade has since become a symbol of Bitcoin’s extraordinary journey from a niche digital experiment to a globally recognized asset.
Modeled after the global Crypto Mondays movement, Crypteaux Mondays NOLA is New Orleans’ own gathering for students, residents, entrepreneurs, business owners, and local leaders ready to tap into the opportunities reshaping the digital world. The city’s emerging tech community comes together on St. Charles Avenue to learn, share ideas, and build something bigger than any one individual — a New Orleans-rooted ecosystem that puts the city on the map for crypto, Web3, and AI innovation.
Whether someone is just getting started with digital assets, looking to integrate AI tools into their business, or exploring how decentralized technology can open new doors for artists and musicians, Crypteaux Mondays NOLA meets them where they are. Alongside partners like Stand With Crypto, the group actively works with local leaders to shape legislation that fuels innovation without getting in its way.
From the classroom to the boardroom, from startups to established enterprises, this is the space where New Orleans stops watching the future and starts building it.
