Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Slice of Crypto History
Bitcoin Pizza Day, celebrated on May 22 each year, marks the first recorded purchase made with Bitcoin. On this day in 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two Papa John's pizzas, a transaction now worth millions of dollars. This simple act demonstrated Bitcoin’s potential as a real-world currency and became a defining moment in cryptocurrency history.
The event is now a global celebration among crypto enthusiasts, highlighting how far Bitcoin has come—from a niche digital experiment to a powerful financial asset. Communities, exchanges, and blockchain companies host giveaways, events, and pizza parties to honor the milestone.
Bitcoin Pizza Day is more than just about pizza—it’s a reminder of innovation, risk, and the early believers who helped shape the future of decentralized finance. It also serves as a fun and reflective moment to appreciate Bitcoin's journey from a $41 pizza order to a global phenomenon.$BTC #bitcoinpizzaday #bitcoinpizzaday
