Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Roaring Success Despite The Rain

Free Keene - Sun, 2025-06-08 19:29 +0000

Bitcoin Pizza Day 2025, Keene, NH

On May 22, 2025 Keene, NH had it’s annual Bitcoin Pizza Day event and as usual it was a roaring success! To top it all off Bitcoin reached a record high of $111,000 on May 22, 2025, coinciding with the 15th anniversary of the first real-world Bitcoin transaction known as Bitcoin Pizza Day.

While for libertarians this isn’t really about the value of the coin so much as the principles and morals it’s representing: Freedom, control, and privacy. The later of which Bitcoin isn’t, but unlike fiat currencies (government money and the associated systems of banking, money transmission, etc) does retain a pseudonymous property in that a user does not need register their identity to merely utilize it or conduct business.

 

 

Pizza doesn’t get fresher than Little Zoe’s, now available for bitcoin!

As is the tradition in Keene, NH we gathered at Little Zoe’s to order our delicious personalized pizzas. Afterward people paid for said pizzas with everything from Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to Goldbacks. We had a few new faces and plenty of old ones. At least one of our now long time regulars apparently wasn’t able to make it. In her 70s she’s smartly cautious and unfortunately the rain appears to have gotten in her way of making it to Keene. But the rain didn’t stop the party. We gathered in our cars and took our pizzas back to one of the Shire Free Church’s properties that was graciously provided for our event at the last minute.

Granite Grok - Sun, 2025-06-08 16:00 +0000
The Party of Biden and Harris has historically done everything it could to aggregate power in the hands of the federal government and its Chief Executive.

Underwood: Feeling (Instead of Thinking) about Education

Granite Grok - Sat, 2025-06-07 22:00 +0000
There is great value, when considering a question, to instead consider a generalization of the question.  Then, having answered the more general question, you get the answers to more specialized versions for free, and you know they’re consistent with each other.

So far, in his second term, Donald Trump’s biggest headaches haven’t come from the Democrats or his fellow Republicans.
