🔶 Bitcoin Story Series – Part 6
📌 The First Bitcoin Purchase – Pizza Day 🍕
On May 22, 2010, something happened that would go down in crypto history.
A programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made the first real-world purchase using Bitcoin — he bought two pizzas from Papa John’s… for 10,000 BTC.
💡 At that time, 10,000 BTC was worth about $41 USD.
Today? That same amount is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. 😱
Since then, May 22 is celebrated as Bitcoin Pizza Day — a reminder of how far Bitcoin has come.
It also showed the world that Bitcoin could be used as real money, not just an idea on paper.
