Once upon a time, in a small town called "Cryptoville," there was a young blockchain developer named Leo. Excited about cryptocurrencies, he spent his days on Binance forums, learning, exchanging, and above all... dreaming of a world where Bitcoin and tokens would be used everywhere.
One May evening, Leo had an irresistible craving: a hot, melting pizza with pepperoni. Unfortunately, he only had BNB (the Binance token) in his wallet. Not a penny in fiat currency.
He then threw down a challenge on his Binance community Telegram channel:
"I will give 100 BNB to anyone who delivers a pizza to my home."
At the time, BNB wasn't worth much. Many laughed, thinking it was a joke. But another enthusiast, Malik, who lived two streets away, took the offer seriously.
Malik jumped on his scooter, bought two pizzas, and delivered them to Leo in less than 30 minutes. They took a photo together, pizza in hand, and posted it on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption:
"The first#BinancePizza in history. 100 BNB for a slice of happiness."
This seemingly trivial gesture quickly went viral. Crypto influencers talked about it, Binance officially shared it, and every year, "Binance Pizza Day" was celebrated as a nod to the famous "Bitcoin Pizza" of 2010.
A few years later, the 100 BNB were worth several thousand dollars.
Leo created an online restaurant called "Binance Pizza," where you could order pizzas with any cryptocurrency. Malik, now his partner, handled logistics and marketing. Together, they built a small empire based on a simple idea: exchanging digital value for something as simple and universal as a pizza.
And every year, on May 22, they offered free pizzas to newcomers in the crypto world, to remind everyone that behind the blockchains and tokens, there are above all people, stories, and a taste of freedom.
