What is May 22 Bitcoin Pizza Day? Where does the story of 10 thousand BTC for two pizzas come from? Here are the details ... "Bitcoin Pizza Day", which is celebrated every year on May 22 and is one of the important building blocks of Bitcoin history, was celebrated today. Today's celebration of Pizza Day began on May 18, 2010, when a Hungarian-origin software developer named Laszlo Hanyecz wanted to buy two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. This transaction was made on May 22, and a payment was made with 10 thousand BTC for a few pizzas. Sturdivant, who made a statement to the Bitcoin Who's Who website in 2015 after 5 years, has been a follower of Bitcoin since the end of 2009. Bitcoin was launched in January of that year. Sturdivant said in that interview that he sold 10,000 BTC, which he bought for $ 40, when it was worth about $ 400. Said, “Bitcoin exists as a currency to spend. I have never looked at Bitcoin as an investment tool, but rather as a currency. I usually take Bitcoin as a payment for a service and spend it the same way."
