Absolutely — the story of Laszlo Hanyecz buying two $#pizzas for 10,000 BTC $BTC #on May 22, 2010 is often cited as the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin. It marked a pivotal moment in cryptocurrency history, transforming Bitcoin from a theoretical digital asset into something with perceived real-world value.

At the time, 10,000 BTC was worth about $41 USD — and now, as Bitcoin trades above $110,000 per BTC, $BTC that purchase would be worth over $1.1 billion, as you mentioned.

This event is commemorated annually as Bitcoin Pizza Day, not only to honor how far Bitcoin has come, but also as a lesson in the volatility and long-term potential of emerging technologies. It highlights the unpredictable journey of innovation — and serves as a reminder that today's small experiments can become tomorrow's billion-dollar milestones.$BTC
