Bitcoin Pizza Day with MEXC's 10 Day Celebration prizes worth $200,000

The first Bitcoin Pizza Day took place 12 years ago on May 22, 2022. The date is associated with the first Bitcoin transaction. Laszlo Hanyecz made history by purchasing a couple of pizzas for 10,000 BTC.

On this day in 2010, Florida resident Laszlo Hanyecz offered 10,000 BTC in exchange for two large pizzas. The transaction is well known in crypto circles as the first recorded trade of BTC in a deal with a business for physical goods.

Hanyecz rose to prominence as a pioneer of cryptocurrency transactions, but it is highly likely that he now regrets his purchase. The two pizzas are currently worth $395 million, making them the most expensive pizzas in history.

The Bitcoin Adventure
For as long as the technology has existed, bitcoiners have been looking for reasons to rejoice. They even commemorate Satoshi Nakamoto, the original Bitcoin creator who stepped down as project leader on April 28, 2011. Satoshi Disappear Day has been declared.

Bitcoin Pizza Day is a holiday for cryptocurrency enthusiasts because, just 12 years ago, most people thought Laszlo Hanyecz would get the better deal if he got two large pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoins. And it took him four days for someone to bring him the pizzas.

Imagining that level of reluctance is difficult for most young cryptocurrency investors, which is exactly what long-term miners, creators, and developers are celebrating.

In 2022, there will be a Bitcoin Pizza Day.
Returning to today, the famous bitcoin pizza transaction has left its mark in the cryptocurrency world. To commemorate the transaction, various exchanges hold various promotions on the anniversary day (May 22). The same transaction today can buy a lavish home and a slew of luxury goods to go with it.

Anothony Pompliano, a Bitcoin supporter and promoter, organized a seven-day pizza drive to commemorate Bitcoin's eleventh anniversary last year. The campaign offered 10,000 pizzas for sale in ten cities. Every pizza sold benefited the Human Rights Foundation's Bitcoin Development Fund.

The journey began with pizza and has since expanded to include a variety of products that can be purchased with Bitcoins. Cryptocurrency can now be used to purchase anything from a pizza or a Subway sandwich to luxury clothing and watches, utilities, space travel, and the purchase of cars and real estate. Crypto users can also use bitcoin to donate to their favorite charities and complete their good deeds for the day.

MEXC Celebrates Bitcoin Pizza Day
