The Feasibility of Bitcoin as a Medium of Exchange
Bitcoin Pizza Day marks the first time cryptocurrency was used in a real-world commercial transaction. On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz made headlines by purchasing two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins. This seemingly ordinary act demonstrated the practical use of Bitcoin as a decentralized currency. The transaction broke the limitations of Bitcoin being merely a technological experiment and showcased its potential in payment scenarios, laying the foundation for the subsequent popularization of cryptocurrency. Participants at the time may not have foreseen the future surge in Bitcoin's value, but this event provided crucial empirical evidence for the financial applications of blockchain technology, encouraging more merchants and users to accept cryptocurrency. #Biancepizza
