Join Web3 Texas in DALLAS in partnership with the Texas Blockchain Council and sponsored by Toyota Connected and PizzaDAO for a special meetup as we celebrate the iconic Bitcoin Pizza Day on the 22nd of May! Come and share your love for Bitcoin, blockchain, and, of course, pizza, with fellow enthusiasts and industry professionals. What's the significance of Bitcoin Pizza Day, you ask? On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer from Florida, made history when he purchased two pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoins, marking the first-ever recorded transaction for a tangible item using Bitcoin. Back then, 10,000 Bitcoins were worth approximately $41, but today, they are valued at millions of dollars. This event is seen as a pivotal moment in the history of Bitcoin, as it demonstrated its potential as a means of payment and paved the way for its adoption as a widely-accepted digital currency. To honor this momentous occasion, we have planned an evening filled with exciting activities, including: 1. A brief history of Bitcoin Pizza Day and its impact on the Web3 industry. 2. Networking opportunities with like-minded individuals, entrepreneurs, and experts in the Web3 space. 3. A delicious variety of pizzas to enjoy, as we reminisce about the legendary transaction that started it all. Whether you're a seasoned Bitcoin enthusiast or just getting started in the world of Web3, this meetup is the perfect opportunity to connect, learn, and celebrate the spirit of innovation!
Event Description Do you know what an NFT is? Maybe you purchased a few on the whim of an Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, or TikTok influencer. Now you are scratching your head trying to determine its long term value. You could also be in the "right click, save as" camp; where you simply don't understand why anyone in their right mind would spend thousands of dollars on an image that you can simply well...right-click, save as. Regardless of which end of the two extremes you may land on, this is the right course for you. Now that this space has cooled off a little, we are truly seeing how this technology is helping to shape Web3, and the future, as we know it! The reality of the future is that everyone will own an NFT - mark our words. In keeping with our mission, Web3 Texas will be presenting on this very topic at a very foundational level. During this session, you can expect to learn at least, if not more, of the follow basics on NFTs: What is an NFT? Non-Fungible vs. Fungible The Layers of an NFT How to buy NFTs How to create NFTs Use Cases Popular Marketplaces How to protect NFTs Terminology: minting, gas fees, allowlist, gas fees, rug pulls, etc. The future of NFTs Presented by Apolonia Thomas, Lead Educator for Web3 Texas.
