Bitcoin Pizza Day is an annual celebration.

Bitcoin Pizza Day is an annual celebration that takes place on May 22nd. It commemorates an important event in the history of Bitcoin—the first documented real-world transaction using the cryptocurrency. On May 22nd, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a Bitcoin enthusiast, made a notable purchase by buying two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins.
At the time, Bitcoin had just started gaining traction, and its value was not well-established. Laszlo's transaction was an experiment to see if Bitcoin could be used for real-world purchases. He posted on a Bitcoin forum offering 10,000 bitcoins to anyone who would order him two pizzas. Eventually, a user named "Jercos" took him up on the offer and ordered the pizzas from Papa John's.
While 10,000 bitcoins seemed insignificant then, it turned out to be a historic transaction considering Bitcoin's subsequent rise in value. Today, those 10,000 bitcoins would be worth millions or even billions of dollars, making it one of the most expensive pizzas in history.
Bitcoin Pizza Day serves as a reminder of Bitcoin's early days and how far the cryptocurrency has come since then. It highlights the importance of that transaction in establishing Bitcoin's use as a medium of exchange and the subsequent growth of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. It has become a significant event in the cryptocurrency community, with Bitcoin enthusiasts around the world celebrating it each year.
