Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Slice of Crypto History
Every year on May 22, the crypto community celebrates Bitcoin Pizza Day, marking the first real-world Bitcoin transaction. On this day in 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC—worth just $41 then—for two pizzas. Today, that amount exceeds $1.1 billion, turning a casual meal into a legendary milestone. This moment not only proved Bitcoin's potential as digital money but also sparked a global movement. While Hanyecz has no regrets, calling it a “fun experiment,” the event serves as a powerful symbol of innovation, risk-taking, and how far crypto has come. Bitcoin Pizza Day is now honored with events, promotions, and reflection—celebrating the humble beginnings of a trillion-dollar revolution.
