Bitcoin Pizza Day: A $1.1 Billion Slice of History

Bitcoin Pizza Day: A $1.1 Billion Slice of History. May 22nd marks the anniversary of the first Bitcoin transaction, when 10,000 BTC were used to purchase two pizzas. This seemingly insignificant event now holds immense symbolic weight, considering Bitcoin's current value. The transaction, facilitated by Laszlo Hanyecz's forum post seeking to buy pizza with Bitcoin, highlights the cryptocurrency's remarkable journey. Today, that same amount of Bitcoin would be worth over $1.1 billion. This anniversary coincides with Bitcoin hitting a new record high of $111,000, further emphasizing the cryptocurrency's growth and potential.
