#PizzaDayCelebration On May 22, 2010, a man from Florida named Laszlo Hanyecz made history by making the first known real transaction with Bitcoin. He exchanged 10,000 Bitcoins for two large pizzas from Papa John's. At that time, the value of those Bitcoins was around $41.

Today, those same bitcoins are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Despite this, Hanyecz does not regret his exchange, stating that bitcoins had no value back then, so the idea of trading them for a pizza seemed brilliant. The Bitcoin Pizza transaction is a significant milestone in the history of cryptocurrencies.

This was the first time Bitcoin was used as a means of exchanging goods, paving the way for its growing current use. Since then, the use of Bitcoin has increased significantly, reflecting the growing use of the cryptocurrency.

As of 2023, there is an average of nearly 500,000 Bitcoin transactions within the blockchain per day, reflecting the growing adoption and use of Bitcoin for digital transactions worldwide. Taken from Coinbase.$BTC
