Bitcoin Pizza Day – A Slice of Crypto History

On May 22, 2010, something revolutionary (and delicious) happened in the world of digital currency. A programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made the first real-world purchase using Bitcoin—buying two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. At the time, those coins were worth about $41… today, they’d be worth hundreds of millions!

This moment is now famously known as Bitcoin Pizza Day, a fun and meaningful milestone in cryptocurrency history. It was the first time Bitcoin was used to purchase a tangible item, proving that digital currency could be more than just an idea—it could be used in the real world.

Since then, Bitcoin has come a long way, but it all started with two pizzas and one bold transaction.

So today, we honor Laszlo’s hunger and vision—because without pioneers like him, the crypto world wouldn’t be what it is now.

Would you spend 10,000 BTC on pizza?
