#BinancePizza

May 22 is not just any date for the crypto ecosystem: it commemorates Bitcoin Pizza Day, the milestone that marked the first recorded purchase with Bitcoin. Exactly 15 years ago, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas, a gesture that seemed trivial in 2010, but today symbolizes the beginning of a global financial revolution.

On the occasion of this anniversary, Binance, the leading global provider of crypto and blockchain infrastructure, is driving a series of celebrations in Latin America and around the world, reinforcing its commitment to the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies.

From two pizzas to one billion dollars

What at the time was 10,000 BTC for a dinner worth USD $ 41, today represents a fortune exceeding USD $ 1.000 billion. This contrast reflects the exponential growth of Bitcoin and how it transitioned from a disruptive idea to becoming a significant financial asset in the global economy.
