Bitcoin Pizza Day:

On May 22, 2010 software developer Laszlo Hanyecz made history by trading 10,000 BTC for two Papa John’s pizzas, a deal worth just $41 at the time but over $1.1 billion today . This iconic transaction, now celebrated annually as Bitcoin Pizza Day holds three key lessons for the crypto world:
