The First Bitcoin Pizza: A Slice of History 🍕🪙

On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made history by completing the first real-world Bitcoin transaction. He offered 10,000 BTC for two large pizzas, worth about $41 at the time. A fellow forum member accepted, marking the first use of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. 🍕

Today, those 10,000 BTC are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, making it the most expensive pizza purchase ever. This event is celebrated annually as Bitcoin Pizza Day, reminding us of Bitcoin’s humble beginnings and incredible growth. 🎉📈
