đĽ Bitcoin Pizza Day: The First Real-World Crypto Purchase
On May 22, 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made history by using Bitcoin to buy two large pizzas. The price? 10,000 BTC â worth over $600 million today.
đ This was the first documented real-world transaction using Bitcoin, proving that crypto could be used as actual money. Laszlo posted his offer on a Bitcointalk forum, and another user accepted â ordering him Papa Johnâs pizza in exchange for the coins.
đŹ While many now see it as a âregretfulâ trade, Laszlo says he has no regrets. âSomeone had to start it,â he later said. Without that moment, Bitcoin may have remained a theoretical experiment.
đ Every year, the crypto community celebrates Bitcoin Pizza Day â not just for pizza, but for the birth of utility in digital currency.
