Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Historic Crypto Milestone

Bitcoin Pizza Day, celebrated every May 22nd, marks a legendary moment in cryptocurrency history. On this day in 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas—making it the first recorded real-world transaction using Bitcoin. At the time, the bitcoins were worth about $41. Today, that amount would be worth millions, highlighting Bitcoin's meteoric rise. This day is now commemorated worldwide as a symbol of Bitcoin’s journey from an obscure digital experiment to a global financial force. It’s a reminder of how innovation often starts small—and how far crypto has come.
