#BinancePizza On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made history by buying two Papa John’s pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoin, marking the first real-world Bitcoin transaction. Valued at about $41 then, those Bitcoins would be worth over $1 billion today, highlighting Bitcoin’s meteoric rise. Hanyecz, a programmer, posted his offer on a Bitcoin forum, and a user accepted, ordering the pizzas. This event, now celebrated as Bitcoin Pizza Day, symbolizes cryptocurrency’s early days and its potential as a decentralized currency. While Hanyecz has no regrets, the story underscores Bitcoin’s volatility and the wild journey from niche experiment to global financial phenomenon.
