Bitcoin with global pizza parties

Basic conclusions

To celebrate the first recognized Bitcoin transaction in 2010, Binance is planning to hold pizza parties in multiple locations.

A range of real-life and online events, events and games will be organized across the world.

Bitcoin Pizza Day remains one of the most popular dates in the cryptocurrency calendar – read on to find out why.

Bitcoin Pizza Day has been part of cryptocurrency folklore ever since computer programmer Laszlo Haniecz decided that the most appropriate thing to buy for the first time using the revolutionary new financial technology – Bitcoin – had to be pizza. On May 22, 2010, through the BitcoinTalk forum, Hanich arranged for a forum member to order two Papa John's pizzas and then paid 10,000 BTC for them. The pizza was delivered to Laszlo's address, becoming the first Bitcoin transaction in history. 

Given the price of BTC at the time of this writing, Hanich paid over $595,000,000 for what later became the most expensive pizza anyone has ever bought. 

Bitcoin Pizza Day is an important event because it marks the first time someone has purchased real-world goods using the digital currency. Since then, the sector has flourished to include thousands of projects.
