Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated every year on May 22 to commemorate the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin. On this day in 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made history by purchasing two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. At the time, Bitcoin had no established market value, and this transaction marked a significant milestone in the adoption of cryptocurrencies.
The two pizzas, worth around $41 back then, would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars today, making it the most expensive pizza order in history. Though it may seem like a loss, Laszlo's action proved that Bitcoin could be used as a medium of exchange, not just a theoretical digital asset.
Binance, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, plays a big role in celebrating Bitcoin Pizza Day every year. They organize events, campaigns, and giveaways to remind the community of how far the crypto space has come. This day is not just about pizzaāit symbolizes progress, belief in innovation, and the power of decentralized finance.
For Binance and the crypto community, Bitcoin Pizza Day is a chance to reflect, educate, and inspire the next generation of blockchain users, while having a slice of fun. $BTC #BinancePizzaDay #BinancePizza
