Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Slice of Crypto History
Bitcoin Pizza Day, celebrated on May 22nd every year, marks a significant milestone in cryptocurrency history. On this day in 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz made the first real-world Bitcoin transaction by purchasing two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. At that time, the value of those Bitcoins was just around $41. Today, that same amount would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, making it one of the most expensive pizzas ever bought.
This event is now remembered as a symbol of Bitcoin’s early adoption and evolution from an experimental digital currency to a global financial asset. Crypto enthusiasts around the world commemorate the day by sharing pizza and reflecting on how far Bitcoin has come. Bitcoin Pizza Day highlights both the humble beginnings of cryptocurrency and the potential it holds for reshaping finance in the future.
