On May 22, 2010, a young man named Laszlo Hanyecz made history by ordering what is now considered the most expensive meal in the world. He paid 10,000 Bitcoins for 2 pizzas from "Papa John's," marking the first real-world purchase using Bitcoin.
At that time, Bitcoin was not well-known, and the price of 10,000 Bitcoins was only about $41. Today, it is worth over $1.1 billion!
Since then, May 22 has been globally recognized as "Bitcoin Pizza Day," celebrated as a reminder of the ambition of a digital currency that started from nothing and has become one of the largest financial assets in the world.
