Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Slice of Crypto History
Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated every year on May 22nd to mark the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin. On this day in 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer, paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas in Florida. At the time, those coins were worth about $41, but today they would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. This historic purchase showed that Bitcoin could be used as a medium of exchange, not just a digital curiosity. Bitcoin Pizza Day reminds the crypto community of how far digital currency has come—and how much value it has gained over the years.
