Every Halloween, the Bitcoin community celebrates something deeper than costumes or candy. On October 31, 2008, while others carved pumpkins, an anonymous figure named Satoshi Nakamoto published Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. The timing was coincidence, but the symbolism was perfect, a masked idea appearing on a night of masks, revealing a new kind of digital freedom. By 2013, users on Bitcointalk and Reddit began marking the date as “Bitcoin’s Birthday.” They replaced avatars with glowing pumpkins and shared jokes like “Trick or Treat, Verify or Cheat.” Between 2016 and 2018, memes such as “Pumpkin Hash,” “HODLween,” and “Proof-of-Ghost” filled social feeds, while wallets, miners, and hardware makers joined the celebration. After 2020, local meetups transformed the online fun into real-world “Bitcoin Halloween Parties.” People dressed as cold wallets, QR codes, and mining rigs, turning Halloween into a crypto carnival. Beyond the humor, it became a rare cultural moment free from charts or exchanges, where everyone from developers to miners could reconnect with the same idea that started it all. Each Halloween now reminds us that Bitcoin lives through its community and grows through the people who keep building it. This year, something wickedly brilliant is brewing in Hanoi. 🎃 GOAT Network, together with @goatvietnam, is hosting an exclusive private dinner for the GOATED community, shaping the future of onchain. 📆 Oct 31 ⏰ 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM By invitation only 👻 If you could create a new ritual for Bitcoin’s next chapter, what would it be?
