Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Slice of Crypto History

Every year on May 22nd, the crypto community celebrates Bitcoin Pizza Day, marking the first recorded purchase made with Bitcoin. On this day in 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz famously paid 10,000 BTC for two large pizzas from Papa John’s. At the time, the transaction was worth roughly $41—today, those same Bitcoins would be valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars. This seemingly simple act was monumental, proving that Bitcoin could function as a real-world currency beyond theoretical value. It paved the way for countless future transactions and signaled the beginning of Bitcoin’s journey as a legitimate medium of exchange. Bitcoin Pizza Day has since become a symbol of how far decentralized finance and blockchain technology have come. Each year, enthusiasts around the world commemorate the occasion by eating pizza, reflecting on crypto's past, and speculating on its future. It's a celebration not just of pizza or Bitcoin, but of innovation, risk-taking, and a decentralized vision of finance. What started with a couple of pizzas now stands as a milestone in the evolution of money.#BTC #bitcoinpizzaday #BitcoinPizzaDay2025 #Binance $BTC
