Binance Marks Bitcoin Pizza Day with Global Pizza Parties

Main Takeaways

• To celebrate the very first recognized bitcoin transaction in 2010 Binance is planning pizza parties in various locations.

• A range of online and IRL events, activations and games will take place worldwide.

• Bitcoin Pizza Day continues to be one of the most celebrated dates in the crypto calendar - read on to find out why.

Bitcoin Pizza Day has been written into crypto folklore ever since computer programmer Laszlo Hanyecz decided the most fitting thing for anyone to first buy with the revolutionary new financial technology - bitcoin - should be pizza. On May 22, 2010, through bitcoin forum BitcoinTalk, Hanyecz arranged to have a fellow forum member order two Papa John’s pizzas before reimbursing 10,000 BTC to cover the cost. The pizzas were delivered to Laszlo’s address and the first bitcoin transaction was written into history. 

Going on the BTC price at the time of writing, Hanyecz paid over $595,000,000 for, what became in retrospect, the most expensive pizzas ever purchased. 

Bitcoin Pizza Day is a significant event as it marks the first time real-world items were bought with cryptocurrency. Since then the industry has blossomed into thousands of different projects and cryptocurrencies using blockchain to revolutionize all aspects of culture including fashion, art, music, real estate, telecommunications and more – but it all started with a whitepaper and two pizzas.
