#BinancePizza The $1 Billion Pizza: A Slice of Crypto History

Back in 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made the first real-world Bitcoin transaction—offering 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. At the time, Bitcoin was worth just pennies, totaling about $25.

He posted the offer on a forum, and someone took him up on it, ordering two Papa John’s pizzas to his home in Florida. Laszlo sent the BTC using a simple command-line wallet, unknowingly writing a legendary chapter in crypto history.

Fast forward to today—those 10,000 BTC would be worth around $1 billion with Bitcoin hovering near $100,000. That humble exchange is now celebrated every May 22 as Bitcoin Pizza Day, a tribute to how far crypto has come.

Sure, some wonder if Laszlo regrets it. But pioneers like him paved the way for the global crypto movement. Without that slice, who knows where Bitcoin would be today?
