Every year on May 22, people in the cryptocurrency community are unusually excited because this day is — Bitcoin Pizza Day!

Back in 2009, a programmer used 10,000 Bitcoins to buy two pizzas. Yes, you read that right, ten thousand. At today's prices, those two pizzas are worth about a private island, two rockets, and maybe some change.

This guy just wanted to eat something and test if this 'internet currency' could really buy things. As a result, he not only got his pizza but also secured a place in history. From that moment on, cryptocurrency stepped out of the world of code and became 'real money' that could be exchanged for physical goods.

What we celebrate today is not just those two slices of cheese and sausage but that kind of courage — the spirit of 'I don't know what will happen, but I'm going to try it anyway.'

Of course, no one would use 10,000 Bitcoins to buy pizza today, unless they didn't care for that amount of money. But sometimes, we should learn from that pizza warrior, daring to take the first bite of something that seems crazy to others.

So, let's order a pizza today and toast to history. Just make sure to pay with a credit card. Bitcoin — it's still better off for dreaming.
