Pizza Day, celebrated on May 22nd, marks a historic event in the world of cryptocurrency. On this day in 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made the first known real-world transaction using Bitcoin. He paid 10,000 BTC for two large pizzas, which were worth about $41 at the time. Today, those Bitcoins would be worth millions, making it one of the most famous purchases in crypto history.
The day is not just about pizza — it symbolizes how far Bitcoin and the blockchain space have come since those early days. Crypto enthusiasts around the world honor this milestone by enjoying a slice and reflecting on the journey of digital currencies. Companies like Binance often participate in the celebration by organizing events, giveaways, or educational content to engage the community.
Pizza Day reminds us that every innovation starts small. From two pizzas to a global financial revolution — it all began with a craving for a slice!
