Bitcoin Pizza Day: The $500 Million Lunch

Back in May 2010, Bitcoin was new niche and nearly worthless
But one guy Laszlo Hanyecz wanted to prove it had real world value

So he made a post on a forum: I’ll pay 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.

Someone took him up on the offer
Two Papa John’s pizzas were delivered
And Bitcoin’s first recorded real world transaction happened

At the time 10,000 BTC was worth about $41
Today? That would be over $500 million 🤯

Now every May 22nd is celebrated as Bitcoin Pizza Day
A reminder of how far the crypto world has come
From greasy boxes to global finance
