Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated every year on May 22nd to honor the first-ever real-world transaction made with Bitcoin. In 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two Papa John’s pizzas — an amount worth millions today. This historic event proved that Bitcoin could function as real money, marking the beginning of its journey from a niche tech project to a global financial revolution. Since then, Bitcoin Pizza Day has become a symbol of innovation, risk, and how far the crypto world has come.
