Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Slice of Crypto History
Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated every year on May 22nd to mark the first-ever real-world transaction using Bitcoin. On this day in 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 Bitcoins for two pizzas from Papa John’s. At that time, those Bitcoins were worth about $41. Today, they would be worth millions of dollars, making it the most expensive pizza purchase in history.
This event is significant because it proved that Bitcoin could be used as a medium of exchange, not just a digital concept. It marked the beginning of Bitcoin’s journey from a niche tech experiment to a global financial asset.
Crypto enthusiasts around the world celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day to remember how far the cryptocurrency has come. It also serves as a reminder of Bitcoin’s humble beginnings and the unpredictable nature of innovation. A simple pizza transaction became a turning point in the world of digital finance.$BTC #BinancePizza #BinancePizzaday
