Many people are interested in the story of Bitcoin Pizza 🍕 Day of Laszlo. Below is the full story.

May 22nd of every year is celebrated by the crypto community as Bitcoin Pizza Day, marking the first real transaction using Bitcoin. On this day in 2010, programmer and Bitcoin miner Laszlo Hanyecz used 10,000 BTC to buy two pizzas from Papa John's, thereby giving Bitcoin its first real-world value.

At that time, Bitcoin had almost no value. But what's notable is that Laszlo not only made a single transaction; he often gave away or used a large amount of BTC to encourage others to participate, including asking someone to buy him pizza in exchange for BTC. Therefore, the identity of the person who received the 10,000 BTC is not really important. The core of the matter is that Laszlo's actions helped shape the initial value and paved the way for Bitcoin to become a means of payment.

Laszlo once shared that he felt like he had "won the internet" because his passion could bring him dinner. From May to August 2010, he continued to keep the offer of "buying pizza with BTC," and it is estimated that during that time, Laszlo spent up to 79,000 BTC just to eat pizza, which at current prices is worth more than $8.7 billion.
