Verifying the Feasibility of Bitcoin as a Medium of Exchange

Bitcoin Pizza Day marks the first time cryptocurrency was used for real-world commercial transactions. On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz purchased two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins. Although it may seem ordinary, it demonstrated the practical use of Bitcoin as a decentralized currency. This transaction broke the limitations of Bitcoin being merely a technical experiment, showcasing its potential in payment scenarios and laying the foundation for the subsequent popularity of cryptocurrencies. The participants at the time may not have foreseen the future surge in Bitcoin's value, but this event provided crucial empirical evidence for the financial applications of blockchain technology, encouraging more merchants and users to accept cryptocurrency.
