"Pizza Day", also known as Bitcoin Pizza Day, originated in honor of a historical event - the first recorded purchase of goods with cryptocurrency.
On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for bitcoins. This transaction demonstrated to the world that cryptocurrency could be used for real purchases, making the payment for pizza with bitcoins a significant milestone in the history of the crypto community.
Laszlo Hanyecz himself offered to buy pizza with bitcoins. In May 2010, he posted on the Bitcointalk forum an offer of 10,000 bitcoins to anyone who would deliver him two pizzas.
Members of the crypto community celebrate this day in various ways. Many buy and eat pizza to commemorate the event. On social media, crypto enthusiasts share photos of their pizzas, host virtual parties, and discuss the development of bitcoin and the crypto industry as a whole.
