š Bitcoin Pizza Day: From Two Pizzas to a Billion-Dollar Bite š
May 22nd marks Bitcoin Pizza Day, the anniversary of the first documented purchase of a physical product using Bitcoin. On this day in 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two large Papa John's pizzas.
Fast forward 15 years, and those 10,000 BTC are now worth roughly $1.1 billion.
Today, a large pizza at Papa Johnās averages around $13.99. That means the same amount of BTC used in 2010 could now buy over 78 million pizzas at the same place.
Thatās enough for every person in France (about 64.8 million people) to get a pizza each and there would still be around 13 million left over.
Itās a crazy reminder of how far $BTC has come since its first real-world use. From two pizzas to enough food for a country, Bitcoinās growth in value is hard to ignore.
