On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made history by paying 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas, forever marking the first real-world Bitcoin transaction. At the time, Bitcoin was virtually worthless, trading at less than a penny per coin. Laszlo, a programmer, wanted to buy pizza but had no traditional currency. Instead, he offered 10,000 BTC to anyone who would deliver him a couple of pizzas. The transaction, once mocked, is now seen as a pivotal moment in Bitcoin’s rise. Those 10,000 bitcoins, worth millions today, serve as a reminder of how far cryptocurrency has come since that simple, hungry gesture.#BinancePizzaDay🍕#bitcoinpizzaday$BTC
