Can you believe that you spent $700 million on two pizzas?

Today is Bitcoin Pizza Day, a unique holiday celebrated on May 22 every year, commemorating an important moment in Bitcoin history. On May 22, 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz used 10,000 Bitcoins to buy two pizzas shortly after Bitcoin was introduced. This transaction is widely considered to be the first actual commodity transaction with Bitcoin, thus marking the historical starting point of Bitcoin's use as an actual currency.

At the time, the value of Bitcoin was very low, with 10,000 Bitcoins equaling approximately $41, but over time, the value of Bitcoin has risen rapidly. As of May 2024, the value of these 10,000 Bitcoins has exceeded $700 million, reflecting the increasing importance and influence of Bitcoin in the global economy. This event not only symbolizes the early development of Bitcoin, but also demonstrates the tremendous transformation and potential of cryptocurrency in just a few years. $BTC

Bitcoin Pizza Day is not only a day for cryptocurrency enthusiasts to celebrate, but has also become a cultural symbol of the global Bitcoin community. Every year on this day, people commemorate this historic moment by buying pizza, holding parties and sharing stories about Bitcoin. This way of celebration not only strengthens the cohesion of the community, but also allows more people to understand and participate in the world of cryptocurrency. #BTC

This festival reminds us that innovation and adventurous spirit play a vital role in technological progress and economic development. At the same time, it also makes us think about how to better seize opportunities and meet future challenges in the ever-changing technological changes. #BTC突破7万大关
