Greetings CryptoCubers!

We hope your week has been amazing and that your portfolio is sizzling like a fresh slice of pepperoni pizza! 🍕

This week, we're traveling back in time to celebrate one of the most iconic events in crypto history — Bitcoin Pizza Day, the very first real-world Bitcoin transaction. This story isn’t just quirky — it marked the moment Bitcoin moved from an internet experiment to something with real-world value.

First, This Week’s Market Snapshot:

• BTC – $104,134

• ETH – $2,497

• SOL – $151

🍕 What Is Bitcoin Pizza Day?

On May 22, 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made history when he paid 10,000 BTC for two Papa John's pizzas. At the time, those coins were worth around $41. Today? That same amount of Bitcoin is worth over $1 billion. 😱

It was the first documented purchase of goods using Bitcoin, making it the first time Bitcoin was used as a medium of exchange in the real world.

Why Does It Matter?

Before this transaction, Bitcoin was mostly an experiment shared between developers and cryptographers. There was no real market value, no exchanges as we know them, and no guarantee that it could ever be used for anything practical.

Laszlo’s pizza purchase proved Bitcoin had value — not because someone said it did, but because someone was willing to exchange it for a real product. That moment shifted Bitcoin from theory to reality.

The Impact on Bitcoin & Crypto

• Sparked Real-World Adoption: This event inspired others to start accepting Bitcoin for goods and services.

• Motivated Developers: It gave early builders and developers hope that Bitcoin could catch on.

• Launched a Tradition: Today, Bitcoiners around the world celebrate May 22 with pizza, memes, and a reflection on how far we've come.

It also serves as a reminder of crypto’s long-term potential — and how early we still are in this space.

Final Slice

Bitcoin Pizza Day reminds us that every innovation starts somewhere — sometimes with something as simple (and delicious) as pizza. Whether you’re just starting your crypto journey or already slicing through charts and wallets, this moment is a tasty reminder of what crypto is all about: community, experimentation, and believing in the future.

🍕

Stay curious. Stay crypto.

Blessings
