**Bitcoin Pizza Day** is an important anniversary for the Bitcoin community, celebrated every **May 22** to commemorate the first recorded physical transaction in Bitcoin history.
### **Background Story**
On May 22, 2010, a programmer named **Laszlo Hanyecz** posted on the Bitcoin forum (Bitcoin Talk), expressing his willingness to exchange **10,000 Bitcoins (BTC)** for two pizzas. At that time, another user, **Jeremy Sturdivant (username Jercos)**, accepted the proposal and ordered two **Papa John's pizzas** (worth about $25) to be delivered to Laszlo.
This transaction became a milestone in Bitcoin history, marking the first time Bitcoin was used as a **currency for physical exchange**, proving its viability as a payment tool.
### **Subsequent Impact**
- **Starting Point for Bitcoin Price Calculation**: Based on this transaction, at that time 10,000 BTC ≈ $25, meaning **1 BTC ≈ $0.0025**. Today (2025), the price of Bitcoin has soared to tens of thousands of dollars, making this pizza worth hundreds of millions at current prices, becoming “the most expensive pizza in history.”
- **Symbol of Community Culture**: Bitcoin Pizza Day is widely celebrated by cryptocurrency enthusiasts, with many eating pizza, posting MEMEs, or discussing the history of Bitcoin on May 22.
- **Laszlo's Follow-Up**: Laszlo later bought more pizzas with Bitcoin, but he did not keep the remaining Bitcoins. Despite “missing out” on a huge fortune, he stated he has no regrets as he helped promote the early adoption of Bitcoin.
### **How to Celebrate?**
Common ways to celebrate in the Bitcoin community include:
- **Eating pizza** and sharing on social media (tag #BitcoinPizzaDay).
- **Reviewing Bitcoin history**, discussing the development of cryptocurrencies.
- **Joking about the “most expensive pizza”**, such as calculating how much the 10,000 BTC spent back then would be worth today.
Today, Bitcoin Pizza Day is not just a quirky anecdote, but a symbol of the journey of cryptocurrency from a geek experiment to a part of the global financial system. 🍕₿
