# Crypto-Themed Pizza Giveaways Slice & PizzaDAO are Giving Away 1BTC in Pizza for Bitcoin Pizza Day By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2021-05-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bitcoin-pizza-day References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/slice-and-pizzadao-celebrate-bitcoin-pizza-day-by-giving-away-more-than-1btc-worth-of-free-pizza-301295221.html) & [slicelife](http://www.slicelife.com/) To mark Bitcoin Pizza Day, the event when programmer Laszlo Hanyecz traded 10,000 Bitcoin for two Papa John's pizzas, Slice and PizzaDAO will be teaming up to give away more than 1BTC worth of free pizza. Over 2,500 free pizzas will be shared across 50 states as part of the Rare Pizzas NFT project. This year marks the 11th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day and today, just one Bitcoin is worth nearly $36,000 USD—meaning, at its peak, Laszlo's two slices of pizza would be valued at $630 million. Through local pizzerias across the United States, Slice and Rare Pizzas are treating people to fresh slices and supporting independent restaurants that have been hit hard as a result of the pandemic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Nft-based Giveaways:** Brands can leverage NFT technology to offer unique and limited edition giveaways as a way to drive customer engagement and loyalty. - **Cryptocurrency-themed Promotions:** Businesses can attract crypto enthusiasts by incorporating crypto-themed promotions or discounts, such as using Bitcoin as a payment option or giving away small amounts of cryptocurrency. - **Blockchain-enabled Loyalty Programs:** Companies can leverage the security and transparency of blockchain technology to create innovative and fraud-resistant loyalty programs that incentivize customer behavior and increase customer retention. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Restaurants and food brands can incorporate cryptocurrency-themed promotions and blockchain-enabled loyalty programs to attract and retain customers in a highly competitive market. - **E-commerce:** Online retailers can offer NFT-based giveaways as a way to differentiate themselves and capture customer attention in an increasingly crowded market. - **Retail and Consumer Goods:** Retailers can use cryptocurrency promotions and blockchain-based loyalty programs to create personalized and secure shopping experiences that build brand loyalty and drive sales growth. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pizza Delivery NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papa-x-cheddar-campaign.md) - [Free Pizza NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-hut-nfts.md) - [24-Hour Pizzeria Takeovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizzeria-takeover.md) - [Free Large Pizza Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/large-margherita-pizzas.md) - [Pizza Slice Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slice-squad.md) - [Cannabis-Friendly Pizza Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deals-for-420.md) - [Cannabis-Branded Pizza Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superette-and-maker-pizza.md) - [Mathematical Pizza Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pi-day-pizza-promotion.md) - [Rewarding Pizza Party Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-hut-and-partiful.md)
