Bitcoin Pizza Day 🍕💸
On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer from Florida, made the first commercial transaction with #Bitcoin , offering 10,000 #BTC to whoever would send him two pizzas 🍕. At the time, those 10,000 BTC were worth just $41 USD. The order was accepted by a young student who sent him two Papa John’s pizzas, marking the history of cryptocurrencies. Today, those same 10,000 BTC would be worth more than $700 million USD at their peak. 😱
- People who don’t know: People who are not aware of history, just see one more pizza on the table, something completely normal. 🍕
- People who know: Those who understand the history behind pizza know that 10,000 BTC could have bought a lot more today. 😅 For them, that pizza is literally "the most expensive in the world."
💡 May 22 is celebrated as Bitcoin Pizza Day, where the crypto community remembers this key moment in Bitcoin adoption. Even large platforms like Binance organize global events to commemorate this day 🎉. What started as a casual transaction has become a symbol of the potential of cryptocurrencies. There will always be a lesson behind a good pizza! 🍕🚀
