Bitcoin Pizza Day is an annual event held on May 22 to commemorate the first time Bitcoin was used to purchase a physical good or service. On this day in 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two large pizzas from Papa John's. At the time, 10,000 BTC was worth around $25. Today, that same amount of Bitcoin is worth more than $250 million.
Bitcoin Pizza Day is a reminder of the early days of Bitcoin, when the cryptocurrency was still in its infancy and not yet widely accepted by merchants. It is also a reminder of the potential Bitcoin has to revolutionize the way we think about money.
Today, Bitcoin is accepted by millions of merchants around the world. It is also used to invest, trade and make payments. Bitcoin Pizza Day is a celebration of the progress Bitcoin has made over the past decade, and a reminder of the potential Bitcoin has to change the world.
Here are some ways to celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day:
Order a pizza and pay with Bitcoin.
Donate to a Bitcoin-related charity.
Learn more about Bitcoin and how it works.
Spread the word about Bitcoin to your friends and family.
