Bitcoin Pizza Day: The transaction that ignited the crypto revolution.
May 22 is a special date for those involved in the crypto ecosystem. On that day in 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz offered 10,000 bitcoins in exchange for two pizzas. A user accepted the deal, placed the order at Papa John’s, and received the $BTC . Thus occurred the first recorded transaction with Bitcoin to acquire a real-world product.
