Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated every year on May 22nd 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 the time, the value of those bitcoins was around $41, making each pizza worth about $20.50. However, in today's market, that amount of Bitcoin would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, making it the most expensive pizza purchase in history.
Laszlo’s transaction is considered a milestone in cryptocurrency history, as it demonstrated that Bitcoin could be used as a medium of exchange — not just a digital concept. This moment helped legitimize Bitcoin and sparked a global movement toward decentralized finance.
Today, Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated by crypto enthusiasts worldwide. Many order pizza, share memes, and reflect on how far Bitcoin has come since its humble beginnings. It’s not just a celebration of pizza — it’s a reminder of how innovation, experimentation, and belief in a new technology can change the world.
Bitcoin Pizza Day is both a historical footnote and a symbol of the cryptocurrency revolution that continues to unfold.$BTC #binancepizza #BinancePizzaDay
