On May 22, 2010, someone paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.
Today, that bite marks the beginning of a decentralized revolution.

Here’s how we got from cheesy slices to sovereign finance:

Laszlo Hanyecz didn’t just buy pizza, he proved Bitcoin had real-world value.

It was the first-ever recorded purchase using BTC.

Back then:
10,000 BTC = $41

Now:
10,000 BTC = $1,100,000,000+/-

Why was this moment historic?
Because until that pizza transaction, BTC was just internet magic.

Laszlo’s order made it real.
Pizza became proof-of-work. Literal proof Bitcoin could buy stuff.

Then came the rise of protocols:

As Bitcoin proved sound money, a new generation of builders asked:

What else can we decentralize?

Can we encode trust into software?

From there, we got:

Ethereum (smart contracts)

DeFi (finance without banks)

DAOs (governance by code)

NFTs (ownership of art, identity, memes)

All because one guy got hungry.

Bitcoin Pizza Day isn’t just about memes.
It’s a reminder:

Big shifts often start with small, human actions.

Like hunger. Curiosity. Code.

Today we build on a 14-year foundation:

Crypto is challenging Wall Street

Web3 is reimagining the internet

Sovereign money is no longer theory

It all began with a slice.

So next time you hear “Bitcoin Pizza Day”…
Don’t laugh. Reflect.

From pizza to protocols, we’re still early.

And the next slice of the story is ours to write.

The early days were wild:

People tipped 100 BTC for help on forums

Mining was a hobby

Hal Finney tweeted about running Bitcoin… before it was cool
