Bitcoin turns 15: from two pizzas to a financial revolution

In May, Bitcoin, the world's most famous cryptocurrency, celebrates 15 years since its first transaction, marking a milestone in the history of financial innovation. Binance, the global leading provider of blockchain and cryptocurrency infrastructure, commemorates this anniversary by highlighting the growth and adoption of cryptocurrencies in Latin America and the world.

It all started in 2010 with the now-iconic Bitcoin Pizza Day, when Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. At that time, the transaction was worth 41 dollars. Today, those 10,000 BTC would be worth more than 1 billion dollars, a clear symbol of Bitcoin's rise as a relevant financial asset.

This anniversary not only recalls the past, but also projects the future. Mass adoption, with hundreds of millions of users, confirms that Bitcoin is no longer just an idea: it is the engine of a global transformation. Binance continues to drive this revolution, celebrating 15 years of history… and paving the way for the future.
