Celebrate the Bitcoin Pizza Day with Bitcoin Cash

Today is May 22, 2022, the anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day!

On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz tried to buy two large pizzas by paying with bitcoin. It was a momentous day when cryptocurrency was exposed to a test for being used as a payment instrument.

Twelve years ago Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pieces of pizzas with 10k Bitcoins.

How much resources were used to complete the payment to buy two pizzas was not an issue. The main point was to demonstrate to the world that a cryptocurrency could be used as a payment instrument to buy a real-world product.

Now, we won't use Bitcoin to buy pizzas

Will anybody use Bitcoin to buy anything in the present day? Maybe, people used Bitcoin to buy a highly proceed Tesla car for some time when Elon Musk wanted to promote Bitcoin for unknown reasons.

Bitcoin fees are too high to be used for making micro-payments. So, Bitcoin is not worth being used as a payment instrument for buying day-to-day goods.

Bitcoin transactions burn enormous electrical resources. Moreover, the time to complete each transaction may also tend to be on the longer side. The fees per transaction are also pretty high. Therefore, people won't use Bitcoin for buying everyday items.

We will use Bitcoin Cash to buy items in stores

If we have to use cryptocurrencies as a payment instrument, we will never use Bitcoin. We will use Bitcoin Cash as the default payment instrument. The reason is widely experienced.

For Bitcoin Cash, both transaction fees and time are low. The Bitcoin Cash networks can process a transaction within seconds and with low fees as low as a cent.

There are a large number of merchants worldwide that accept Bitcoin Cash or BCH as the tendering currency. The list of merchants may be searched out in a dedicated web portal called"the Accept Bitcoin Cash initiative." It contains an extensive list of merchants that accept BCH as a payment currency.
