Verifying the Feasibility of Bitcoin as a Medium of Exchange

Bitcoin Pizza Day marks the first time cryptocurrency was used in a real-world commercial transaction. On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz made the purchase of two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins, an act that, although seemingly ordinary, demonstrated the practical use of Bitcoin as a decentralized currency. This transaction broke the limitations of Bitcoin being merely a technological experiment, showcasing its potential in payment scenarios and laying the foundation for the subsequent popularization of cryptocurrencies. At the time, participants may not have foreseen the future surge in Bitcoin's value, but this event provided crucial empirical evidence for the financial applications of blockchain technology, encouraging more merchants and users to accept cryptocurrency.
