BITCoin pizza 🍕 day is now one of the trending activities in all cryptocurrency platforms. But why is that? How $BTC and PIZZA 🍕 are connected? And why pizza.
1. What Bitcoin pizza day tells us about early adoption and taking risk?
The story of Bitcoin and pizza is one of the most famous and significant anecdotes in crypto history, commemorated annually as Bitcoin Pizza Day on May 22nd.
On May 22, 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made history by completing the first known real-world transaction of physical goods using Bitcoin. He offered 10,000 Bitcoins on a Bitcoin forum for someone to order and deliver him two large pizzas. At the time, 10,000 BTC was worth approximately $41 USD.
Another user on the forum, Jeremy Sturdivant, accepted the offer and paid $25 for two Papa John's pizzas, delivering them to Hanyecz. In exchange, Hanyecz sent him 10,000 Bitcoins.
The pizzas have since become legendary for their ever-increasing "cost" in hindsight. As of May 22, 2025, with Bitcoin's value soaring, those 10,000 BTC are worth over $1.1 billion USD. This makes them arguably the most expensive pizzas ever purchased.
So from this we can learn that the early adoption of Bitcoin in that time was a win-win situation if he holds that instead of consuming it
2.How crypto could reshape everyday spending in the next 10 years?
We are very much aware that the US are trying to regulate crypto by enlarging their focus on Stablecoins and implementing central bank digital currencies, it will change the shape of the everyday spending because of the DLT ( Distributed ledger Technology) it uses ensuring the transparency in every sector .
3. If you had 10,000 BTC today-would you ever spend it?
If I had 10,000 BTC today I would never spend it , I would rather stake it and start gaining APR on that . The price of the Bitcoins will increase day by day because of its limited supply.
4. What it will take to make Bitcoin a real medium of exchange, not just a store of value.
It actually depends on the belief of human beings. We know in the ancient times people used stones and leafs to trade assuming it as a currency, now we think of the paper notes as a currency, usually we believe in it. If from tomorrow the world accept BTC and crypto for trading of goods and services BTC will become a real medium of exchange overnight.
