Bitcoin Pizza Day: How $25 Turned into a Billion 🍕



Fifteen years ago, Laszlo Hanyecz made a transaction that entered crypto history. He exchanged 10,000 units of Bitcoin for two pizzas — an innocent purchase at the time worth only $25.

Today? The same amount of BTC is worth over $1.1 billion. This is not just a purchase — it’s a longitudinal proof of the exponential growth of the most famous cryptocurrency. Laszlo Hanyecz’s act created the first real example of how peer-to-peer transactions using digital currency work in practice.

Every year, the community commemorates this day as Bitcoin Pizza Day — a symbolic milestone that showed Bitcoin is not just a theoretical idea, but a truly functional means of exchange. The price of BTC back then wasn’t even a problem — it was the revolution itself. 💸
