#BinancePizza Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated every May 22 to commemorate the first documented transaction with Bitcoin in the real world. On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer and early adopter of Bitcoin, paid 10,000 BTC for two Papa John's pizzas, valued at about $41 at the time. This transaction marked a milestone by demonstrating that Bitcoin could be used as a means of payment.Context:In 2010, Bitcoin was an experiment with almost no value (1 BTC was worth fractions of a cent). Hanyecz offered the 10,000 BTC on a forum (BitcoinTalk) and a user agreed to buy the pizzas in exchange. Today, those 10,000 BTC would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, making the purchase iconic and symbolic.
