Bitcoin Pizza Day!
Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated on May 22nd every year. It commemorates the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin, which took place on May 22, 2010.
Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer, offered 10,000 Bitcoins to anyone who could get him two large Papa John's pizzas delivered to his doorstep. Someone accepted the offer, and the transaction was completed.
At the time, 10,000 Bitcoins were worth around $41. Today, that amount of Bitcoin would be worth significantly more – a staggering amount, in fact!
This event marked a significant milestone in Bitcoin's history, demonstrating its potential as a medium of exchange and paving the way for its growth as a digital currency.
People celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day by sharing memes, stories, and reflections on the early days of Bitcoin. It's a fun way to acknowledge the cryptocurrency's humble beginnings and its rapid evolution over the years!
