#btcpizza #PizzaDay #pizzabtc #PizzaParty #PizzaForCrypto Bitcoin Pizza Day, celebrated annually on May 22, commemorates the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin. On this day in 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer and early Bitcoin miner, made history by purchasing two Papa John's pizzas for 10,000 BTC. At the time, this amount of Bitcoin was valued at approximately $41. Today, those 10,000 BTC would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, highlighting the dramatic increase in Bitcoin's value over the years .
Hanyecz's transaction was facilitated through a post on the Bitcointalk.org forum, where he offered 10,000 BTC to anyone who would order and deliver the pizzas to him. Jeremy Sturdivant, a 19-year-old Bitcoin enthusiast, accepted the offer, purchasing the pizzas for Hanyecz and receiving the Bitcoin in return. This event is widely regarded as the first documented purchase of physical goods using cryptocurrency .
