Bitcoin Pizza Day: The $1 Billion Slice
Every year on May 22, the cryptocurrency community celebrates Bitcoin Pizza Day, marking the first real-world transaction made with Bitcoin. On this day in 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a Florida programmer, paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas from Papa John’s. At the time, the value was about $41. Today, those same bitcoins would be worth over $1 billion, making it one of the most expensive meals in history.
The transaction proved that Bitcoin could be used to buy everyday items, sparking interest in cryptocurrency as a form of decentralized currency. Bitcoin Pizza Day has since become a symbol of how far the crypto world has come—from niche tech to a global financial phenomenon.
Crypto enthusiasts around the world now commemorate the day with pizza parties, social media memes, and reflections on the rapid evolution of blockchain technology and digital assets.$BTC
