Bitcoin Pizza Day refers to the day when Florida’s Laszlo Hanyecz paid a sum of 10,000 BTCs, instead of fiat currency, for two Papa John’s pizzas. The day is remembered not for the transaction, but for the price he paid for the two pizzas.

If you look at the price of Bitcoin today, the BTC that he paid for two pizzas would have amounted to 7 million, at press time. This event is remembered as the first real-time transaction thats used Bitcoin.

Huobi Global, a cryptocurrency trading platform, announced that it would be selling their cryptocurrency at a discount rate to a few traders as part of their ‘Bitcoin Pizza Day’ celebration. The company is also looking at launching Reserve Right Token on their Huobi prime.

The second round will have the rest 80% of the coins sold at 12% of the market price. Huobi will also host a variety of Bitcoin-related activities and one lucky user will get 1 Bitcoin at the original Pizza day price – $0.03.

Livio Weng, CEO of Huobi, said,
