$BTC Bitcoin Pizza Day: The First Real-World Bitcoin Transaction
Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated every year on May 22nd to mark a significant event in cryptocurrency history. On this day in 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made the first documented real-world purchase using Bitcoin. He paid 10,000 BTC for two large pizzas from Papa John’s, which were worth about $41 at the time.
This event is considered historic because it proved that Bitcoin, which until then was only discussed as a digital concept, could actually be used as a medium of exchange. Laszlo posted on a Bitcoin forum offering 10,000 BTC for two pizzas, and another user helped him complete the transaction. Today, those 10,000 BTC would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, making it the most expensive pizza purchase ever.
Bitcoin Pizza Day is more than just a celebration—it symbolizes the beginning of Bitcoin’s journey as a real-world currency. Each year, crypto enthusiasts commemorate this day by sharing pizzas and remembering how far Bitcoin has come. It serves as a reminder of the early adopters' belief in the technology and how innovation often starts with small but bold steps.
It’s not just about pizza—it’s about the future of money.
