#BinancePizza The mother cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, celebrates 15 years since its first purchase transaction and commemorates it with the Bitcoin Pizza Day event on May 22, replicated globally.

Bitcoin Pizza Day marks the first recorded purchase with Bitcoin, when Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas in 2010. This seemingly trivial transaction at the time became a symbol of the evolution of Bitcoin from an innovative concept to a transformative financial technology.

The 10,000 BTC used by Laszlo to pay USD 41 for two pizzas would be worth over USD 1 billion today, demonstrating the consolidation of cryptocurrency as a relevant asset and financial instrument over all these years.

Bitcoin Pizza Day, in addition to recalling an anecdote, is an opportunity to reflect on the transformation of the global financial system. This milestone contributed to the digitization of money and the opening of new economic alternatives for millions of people.
