May 22 is forever etched in crypto history as Bitcoin Pizza Day, the day when Laszlo Hanyecz made the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin, spending 10,000 BTC to buy two pizzas in 2010. At today’s Bitcoin value, those pizzas would be worth billions of dollars — turning a humble dinner into a legendary milestone.

But what if we went a step further?

Today, we celebrate a playful concept: "One Billion Pizzas" Day — imagining a world where one billion pizzas have been bought with Bitcoin. This isn’t just about quantity, but about how far we've come since that first transaction.

From Two Pizzas to One Billion

Back in 2010, the idea of using Bitcoin to buy anything seemed laughable. Fast-forward 15 years, and millions of merchants, from local pizzerias to global delivery apps, accept Bitcoin. With layer-2 solutions like Lightning Network and crypto debit cards, buying pizza with Bitcoin is as easy as tapping your phone.

If every pizza ever bought with Bitcoin since 2010 were counted, the number might not yet reach one billion — but metaphorically, the journey has certainly fed a global movement.

Why It Matters

"One Billion Pizzas" isn't just a celebration of food and crypto — it symbolizes:

Mainstream adoption of digital currencies

Innovation in payments and financial freedom

The power of belief in something that once seemed absurd

The Future of Bitcoin and Pizza

Maybe one day, with Bitcoin integrated into everyday life, people will regularly buy pizzas — and everything else — with satoshis. That future started with two pizzas, and it’s built on every transaction since.

So today, raise a slice to Laszlo, to crypto dreamers, and to the billion pizzas ahead.

Happy One Billion Pizzas Day!
