# Bitcoin Pizza
Bitcoin Pizza is an event that occurred on May 22nd, 2010 when the first ever real-world transaction with bitcoin was made. On this day, Laszlo Hanyecz purchased two pizzas from Papa John’s for 10,000 BTC (about $41 USD at the time).
The purchase of these two pizzas has become a symbol of early cryptocurrency adoption and has been widely discussed in the media. The story often serves as an example of how far bitcoin’s value has come since then – it would now be worth over $90 million. It also highlights how quickly cryptocurrency prices can change, making it both a risky and potentially lucrative investment opportunity.
Given its place in history, “bitcoin pizza day” is celebrated every year by those interested in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Celebrations typically involve eating pizza together or partaking in other activities related to crypto culture such as discussing price trends or trading strategies.
As more people learn about Bitcoin Pizza each year, its legacy will grow stronger – reminding us all that you never know where your investments might take you!
