What Happened on May. 22nd | Happy Bicoin Pizza Day

Bitcoin Pizza Day is an annual event celebrated on May 22nd to mark the first recorded commercial transaction made with Bitcoin. On that day in 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins, which was worth about $41 at the time. This event is significant because it showed that Bitcoin could be used as a medium of exchange for everyday purchases. The value of those 10,000 bitcoins today would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and the day is celebrated by the community to remember the early days of Bitcoin and its evolution as a digital currency.
