Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated every year on May 22 to mark the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin. On this day in 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two Papa John's pizzas. At that time, 10,000 BTC was worth around $41. Today, that amount of Bitcoin would be worth millions of dollars, making it one of the most famous purchases in crypto history.
Hanyecz made a post on the BitcoinTalk forum offering 10,000 BTC for a couple of pizzas. Another user accepted the offer and ordered the pizzas for him. This simple act proved that Bitcoin could be used as a medium of exchange, not just a digital asset.
Bitcoin Pizza Day is now a symbol of how far the cryptocurrency world has come. It also serves as a reminder of the early days of Bitcoin, when few people could predict its future value. Each year, crypto communities and companies celebrate the day by buying pizza and sharing the story to raise awareness about cryptocurrency adoption.
While those pizzas were incredibly expensive in hindsight, they played a historic role in Bitcoin’s journey.$BTC #BinancePizzaDay #BinancePizzaDay
