Bitcoin Pizza Day — one of the most ironic and iconic events in the history of cryptocurrency. On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for 10,000 BTC — an amount that today is equivalent to hundreds of millions of dollars. This was the first documented purchase of a real product using bitcoin, marking the beginning of a new financial era. Back then, 10,000 BTC was worth about $40 — today it has become a symbol of both the increase in value and the invaluable faith in the future of decentralized currencies. This transaction reminds us how far bitcoin has come and how valuable early steps in new technology can be.
