The Story of Bitcoin Pizza Day
Once upon a time, in the early days of the internet money called Bitcoin, it wasn’t worth very much. In fact, most people didn’t know what it was or why it mattered.
It was the year 2010, and a man named Laszlo Hanyecz had an idea. He thought, “What if I use Bitcoin to buy something in the real world—like pizza?”
So, on May 22, Laszlo went online and posted a message:
“I’ll pay 10,000 Bitcoins if someone orders me two pizzas.”
Back then, 10,000 Bitcoins were worth about $41—just the price of two large pizzas. A fellow Bitcoin user took him up on the offer and ordered two hot, cheesy pizzas delivered right to Laszlo’s door.
And just like that, the first real-world Bitcoin transaction was made!
Little did Laszlo know, those 10,000 Bitcoins would one day be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. But to Laszlo, it was worth it to prove that Bitcoin could actually be used like real money.
Now, every year on May 22, people around the world celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day—not just to remember the pizzas, but to honor the moment Bitcoin stepped into the real world.
And yes… those were probably the most expensive pizzas in history!
