$BTC Binance Pizza Day: Celebrating Bitcoin’s First Real-World Transaction
Binance Pizza Day is celebrated annually on May 22 to commemorate the first-ever real-world transaction using Bitcoin. On this day in 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. At that time, Bitcoin had little to no value, but the transaction marked a historic moment in the cryptocurrency world. Today, those 10,000 BTC would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, honors this occasion every year by organizing events, promotions, and giveaways. The goal is to spread awareness about the growth of crypto, educate new users, and celebrate the evolution of digital currency.
In recent years, Binance has hosted global Pizza Day campaigns encouraging users to buy pizza with crypto, share stories on social media, and engage with the community. It’s not just about pizza—it’s about celebrating the journey of cryptocurrency from an experimental idea to a financial revolution.
Binance Pizza Day reminds us how far the crypto world has come, and how a simple pizza purchase became a symbol of innovation, community, and belief in the future of decentralized finance.$BTC
