The official marketing lead of the SHIB team, known to the community under the pseudonym Lucie, has published a tweet, in which she revealed what might be a curious gastronomic fact about the mysterious SHIB leader, Shytoshi Kusama.
Lucie’s tweet was dedicated to Bitcoin Pizza Day celebrated today, May 22.
Shytoshi Kusama's favorite pizza?
In her tweet, Lucie published an AI-generated image of a pizza shaped like the head of Shiba Inu’s mascot, SHIB. Next to it, on the slicing board, there is an inscription made with ketchup, and it says: “Hi Shytoshi!”
Lucie tweeted that she baked “a special pizza” for her friend Shytoshi Kusama (and she tagged him on X). Lucie revealed that according to what she has heard, Shytoshi is “a big fan of pineapple pizza.”
Meanwhile, Satoshi Kusama has remained silent for several weeks already, without publishing a single post on his X account.
First Bitcoin payment for pizza 15 years ago
In 2010, when Bitcoin was trading below $1, U.S. programmer Laszlo Hanyecz published a message on the BitcoinTalk forum, offering 10,000 BTC to anyone who buys and delivers him two large pizzas from Papa John's.
The challenge was accepted by 19-year-old California student Jeremy Sturdivant. He ordered two pizzas and had them delivered to Laszlo Hanyecz’s house. The former made the Bitcoin payment, which back in 2010 was worth about $41. Today, that many Bitcoins are worth a staggering $1.1 billion.
Since 2020, May 22 is celebrated by Bitcoin enthusiasts around the world every year, when they get together, eat pizza and discuss crypto adoption and various ideas about Bitcoin.
