Binance Pizza Day: A Slice of Crypto History
Binance Pizza Day is celebrated every year on May 22nd to honor the first real-world Bitcoin transaction. On this day in 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas, marking the beginning of cryptocurrency being used for everyday purchases. Though 10,000 BTC was worth about $41 back then, it would be valued in the millions today, making those pizzas the most expensive ever bought.
Binance, a global cryptocurrency exchange, celebrates this milestone with giveaways, community events, and educational campaigns. The aim is to remember the humble beginnings of Bitcoin and how far digital currencies have come. It's a day for reflection, learning, and fun — connecting crypto enthusiasts from all over the world.
More than just a celebration, Binance Pizza Day inspires the global crypto community to keep building, innovating, and spreading awareness. It’s a symbol of progress, proving that even small steps — like buying pizza — can lead to big changes in the world of finance.
