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 Bitcoins for two pizzas from Papa John’s. At the time, Bitcoin had little to no monetary value, and the transaction was worth about $41. However, those 10,000 Bitcoins would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars today, making it one of the most expensive meals in history.

This moment is significant because it demonstrated Bitcoin’s potential as a medium of exchange. Until then, Bitcoin was mostly used among enthusiasts and had never been used in a real-world purchase. Hanyecz’s pizza purchase showed that digital currency could have real value and utility, sparking greater interest in cryptocurrency.

Every year, the crypto community remembers this event by sharing memes, hosting events, and reflecting on how far Bitcoin has come. Bitcoin Pizza Day is not just about the pizzas—it’s a reminder of the humble beginnings of a technology that has since transformed global finance.

From two pizzas to a trillion-dollar market, Bitcoin’s journey continues—and it all started with a simple, cheesy transaction.$BTC #Binancepizza
