Bitcoin Pizza Day is a historic event celebrated every year on May 22nd. It marks the day in 2010 when a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made the first-ever real-world transaction using Bitcoin — he paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. At the time, Bitcoin had very little monetary value, but today, those 10,000 Bitcoins would be worth millions of dollars.
This day isn’t just about pizza; it’s a symbol of the evolution of cryptocurrency and the beginning of its use in everyday transactions. It highlights how far Bitcoin and blockchain technology have come since their early days. Around the world, crypto enthusiasts celebrate this day with pizza parties, events, and tributes to that first famous transaction.
Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, also takes part in celebrating Bitcoin Pizza Day, using the occasion to engage the community and spread awareness about the history and impact of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Pizza Day reminds us that revolutionary changes often begin with simple acts — and sometimes, with just a couple of pizzas. $BTC #binancepizza
