Binance Pizza Day
Binance Pizza Day is a celebration held every year on May 22nd to commemorate the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin. On this day in 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas, marking the first time Bitcoin was used to buy a physical item.
Today, 10,000 bitcoins are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, making those pizzas possibly the most expensive ever bought. Binance, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, celebrates this day by organizing global events, giveaways, and campaigns to promote the use of crypto in everyday life.
Binance Pizza Day reminds the crypto community of how far Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have come—from being worth almost nothing to becoming a major part of the financial world. It also highlights the importance of adoption and innovation in the world of blockchain and digital currencies.
