[Asia Economy Reporter Myunghwan Lee] Coinone announced on the 19th that it has launched an internal campaign called 'Cryptopedia,' aimed at discouraging reckless investments and encouraging a fundamental understanding of the crypto industry.
Coinone selected 'Bitcoin Pizza Day,' a monumental day in the virtual asset industry, as the first theme of Cryptopedia. On the 18th, at the Coinone headquarters, all employees gathered to share pizza in celebration of Pizza Day, reflecting on the symbolism and significance of Bitcoin Pizza Day.
Bitcoin Pizza Day commemorates May 22, 2010, when Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer from Florida, USA, exchanged 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas. It is recognized as the day when the value of virtual assets as a payment method was first proven, and the industry celebrates this day annually.
At the event, attendees were able to receive pizza by presenting tickets designed with a Bitcoin motif, reflecting the origin and meaning of Bitcoin Pizza Day. Additionally, price tags showing the current value of the bitcoins used in the pizza exchange?approximately 250 billion KRW?were attached, allowing participants to enjoyably experience the growth in Bitcoin's value, which received great positive feedback.
Cha Myunghoon, CEO of Coinone, stated, "By actively participating in the 'Know Crypto Correctly' campaign, employees will help increase trust in the industry and contribute to the formation of a healthy investment culture." He added, "We plan to regularly conduct internal campaigns utilizing meaningful moments in the virtual asset industry, such as the first listing of Ethereum."
