Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated every year on May 22nd to mark the first known real-world transaction using Bitcoin. On this day in 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 Bitcoins for two Papa John’s pizzas. At the time, the coins were worth about $41, but today they would be worth millions, making it one of the most iconic moments in cryptocurrency history.
This event demonstrated Bitcoin’s potential as a medium of exchange, not just a theoretical digital asset. It also showed the early enthusiasm and belief in Bitcoin’s future, despite its then-limited value. Over time, Bitcoin Pizza Day has become a symbol of how far the cryptocurrency space has come, sparking discussions about adoption, value, and innovation in decentralized finance. Crypto enthusiasts now commemorate the day by buying pizza with Bitcoin and reflecting on the progress of blockchain technology since that groundbreaking transaction.$BTC #BinancePizzaDay🍕 #BinancePizzaDay🍕
