Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Special Day in Crypto History
Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated every year on May 22 to remember the first time someone used Bitcoin to buy something in real life. On this day in 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 Bitcoins to buy two pizzas 🍕🍕. At that time, the coins were worth only about $41, but today, they would be worth over $1 billion 💸! This simple pizza purchase became a very important moment in the history of Bitcoin.
Even though Laszlo spent a huge amount of Bitcoin by today’s value, he doesn’t regret it 🙂. He says he just wanted to show that Bitcoin could be used like real money. This pizza deal helped people see that Bitcoin was not just a computer idea—it could be used in the real world 🌍. Now, people in the crypto community celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day every year to remember how far Bitcoin has come since those two famous pizzas 🎉.
