On May 22nd every year, the crypto community plunges into collective celebration, for this day is recorded in history — Bitcoin Pizza Day!

Let's take a trip back to 2010, when a programmer exchanged 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas. That's right, you read that correctly, a whole ten thousand! At current prices, these two pizzas would be enough to buy a private island, a custom rocket ship, and still have some change left to travel around the world.

This guy was just trying to solve his dinner problem while verifying whether "digital tokens" could really circulate. Little did he know that he not only got his pizza but also left his name in the annals of blockchain history. This transaction allowed cryptocurrency to break through the dimensional wall of the code world for the first time, completing a "thrilling leap" from virtual symbol to tangible currency.

What we toast to is never those two cold carbohydrate mixtures, but that spirit of solitary bravery — that pioneering spirit of "even if thousands are against me, I will go on." Of course, no one would exchange ten thousand bitcoins for pizza now (unless they have so much money they want to burn it for fun), but every era needs someone to take the first leap.
