#BinancePizza

Back in 2010, Bitcoin was a new and experimental digital currency, worth just a fraction of a cent. Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer and early Bitcoin enthusiast, made history by paying 10,000 Bitcoins for two Papa John's pizzas.

At the time, this was about $41. Today, those 10,000 Bitcoins are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, making it the most expensive pizza purchase ever.

While it’s fun to think about the current value of those Bitcoins, Bitcoin Pizza Day is significant for another reason. It showed that Bitcoin could be used as a real currency, not just a digital novelty. This simple transaction helped pave the way for the rise of crypto commerce.
