#Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated every year on May 22nd to mark a historic moment in cryptocurrency history. On this day in 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin by buying two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. At the time, Bitcoin had little to no value, and the transaction was seen as a novelty. However, in today’s market, those 10,000 Bitcoins would be worth millions of dollars, making it one of the most expensive pizza purchases ever.
This day has become a symbol of how far Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have come. It reminds the community of the humble beginnings of digital currency and highlights its growing impact on the global economy. Enthusiasts celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day by sharing stories, buying pizza with crypto, and reflecting on the evolution of decentralized finance.
