Binance celebrates Bitcoin Pizza Day annually on May 22nd, commemorating a pivotal moment in cryptocurrency history. On this date in 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz famously paid 10,000 Bitcoins for two pizzas, marking the first real-world transaction using the digital currency. At the time, those bitcoins were worth approximately $41, but today, that same amount would be worth hundreds of millions, even over a billion dollars, highlighting Bitcoin's incredible growth.
Binance embraces this day with various activities to engage its community worldwide. These include referral programs, online games, and even physical pizza parties in cities globally. The goal is to celebrate Bitcoin's journey from a nascent digital experiment to a global financial asset, emphasizing early adoption, risk-taking, and the evolving narrative of crypto. It serves as a reminder of how far Bitcoin has come and its potential for future everyday use.
