Verifying the Feasibility of Bitcoin as a Medium of Exchange
Bitcoin Pizza Day marks the first time cryptocurrency was used for a real-world commercial transaction. On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz made the purchase of two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins. Although this act seemed ordinary, it demonstrated the practical use of Bitcoin as a decentralized currency. This transaction broke the limitation of Bitcoin being merely a technical experiment, showcasing its potential in payment scenarios and laying the groundwork 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 adopt cryptocurrency.
