Today's recommendation: Eat pizza!
Today is the 15th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day.
In 2009, Bitcoin was born. One year later - on May 22, 2010, American programmer Laszlo Hanyecz exchanged 10,000 Bitcoins for two Papa John's pizzas. This transaction, worth about $41, became the first record of Bitcoin being used to pay for a real-world commodity.
Today, those 10,000 Bitcoins are worth nearly $1.1 billion, and these two pizzas are rightfully called the "most expensive pizzas in history".
But Pizza Day's significance goes far beyond "price".
It represents a real-world implementation of decentralization belief and symbolizes the first pulse of Bitcoin as a new value system.
Even more coincidentally - on this memorial day, Bitcoin once again set a new historical high, a perfect timing that makes the entire crypto community feel the tension of this narrative. From the transaction that seemed insignificant years ago to today's globally watched financial phenomenon, BTC has walked a path of long-termism belonging to every token holder.
From "10,000 BTC for pizza" to "5.22 becoming a consensus holiday", this is not just a ritual in the crypto world, but a cultural inheritance created by generations of Builders and HODLers.
On this special day, many Web3 communities will host memorial activities and share token-holding stories. Everyone is not just reminiscing, but confirming: "We are still here."
As a new-generation digital asset trading platform, GaiaEx also encourages users at this moment to review their on-chain journey and share their stories with Bitcoin - paying tribute to the original persistence in a relaxed way.
So - today, why not order a pizza.
Commemorate that payment attempt that changed the world, and reconnect with the crypto world.
Happy Pizza Day, BTC witnesses!
