Bitcoin Pizza Day 2025: The Transaction That Changed Crypto Bitcoin Pizza Day 2025: The Transaction That Changed Crypto

Bitcoin Pizza Day 2025: The Transaction That Changed Crypto


On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made history by trading 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. At the time, that amount of Bitcoin was worth about $41. Today, it would be valued at over $1 billion. This was more than just a quirky online moment, it marked the first real-world Bitcoin transaction and set the first monetary value for cryptocurrency.

Fifteen years later, Bitcoin Pizza Day continues to represent a pivotal moment in the evolution of digital currency. It demonstrated that Bitcoin could be exchanged for tangible goods, helping pave the way for global crypto adoption.

This year, Medium featured Bitstop for celebrating the milestone and for our ongoing work to expand access to cryptocurrency through a growing network of Bitcoin ATMs across the United States.

“Bitcoin Pizza Day is more than a celebration of one of crypto’s quirky origin stories,” said Doug Carrillo, Bitstop Co-Founder. “It’s a reminder of the journey toward financial freedom and the importance of access.”

To honor the 15th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day, Bitstop is offering 15% off transaction fees at Bitcoin ATM locations nationwide. Use promo code PIZZA15 from May 22 through May 29 at 3:00 AM ET. Find a Bitcoin ATM near you and buy Bitcoin with cash, fast, secure, and on your terms.

Since 2013, Bitstop has made it simple for people to access Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies by converting physical cash into digital currency. With ATMs located in convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery chains, Bitstop is building the last mile of crypto infrastructure.

From those first two pizzas to a nationwide network of Bitcoin ATMs, Bitstop is proud to power the next chapter of the digital economy.

Unveiling the Fascinating World of the Bitcoin ATM

In the ever-evolving world of finance, there’s a delightful presence that’s been quietly making its mark: Those charming Bitcoin ATMs, or BTMs for short. They’ve sprouted up in the corner store, the gas station, and even the casino. Aren’t they just the bee’s knees? But let’s put on our inquisitive hats for a moment and ponder: what’s the scoop behind these nifty contraptions?

You see, the global demand for Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies has been on the rise. As a result, the clever minds in the cryptocurrency realm have been hard at work. For instance, they’ve been striving to seamlessly integrate this “new frontier” into our everyday lives: enter the Bitcoin ATM.

Picture this: Before Bitcoin ATMs entered the scene, the cryptocurrency world resembled the Wild West. Every transaction, no matter how big or small, took place through rather “unconventional” means. At Bitstop, we fondly refer to that era as the “last mile problem.” Why, you ask? Well, on the grand timeline of cryptocurrency history, this was the final frontier before it evolved into a scalable entity.

But fast forward to today, and we find ourselves in a world where people crave the ability to transfer their assets reliably and securely. Enter the era of Bitcoin ATMs, the new normal.

These remarkable crypto machines have made cryptocurrency transactions as effortless as using a standard bank ATM to withdraw or deposit cash. Say goodbye to the tedious online rigmarole and hello to a convenient and familiar way of exploring the cryptocurrency market.

Now, you might wonder, “Familiar, you say? How does it all work?” It’s a piece of cake, really, they operate in a manner reminiscent of the bank machines you’ve frequented in the past.

You verify your identity, deposit your cash into the machine, and voilà, your transaction is complete. No tricks, no convoluted processes – just a straightforward and familiar exchange. Additionally, these machines have been artfully designed to streamline the cryptocurrency transaction experience. Also, Bitcoin ATMs ensure a safe and secure, seamless process. In an age where digital currency is maturing rapidly, ATMs have proven to be an essential component of our financial landscape.

Let’s turn the pages of history for a moment, shall we? The very first cryptocurrency ATM made its debut in 2013. Then, after a journey fraught with regulatory twists and turns, 2015 welcomed some of the initial licensed vending machines to the market, including the illustrious Bitstop BTMs. The agreement was clear: legitimate Bitcoin ATMs had to adhere to the same regulations and laws as their traditional counterparts, complete with limits on withdrawals and deposits.

So, there you have it – a warm, witty, and knowledgeable glimpse into the fascinating world of Bitcoin ATMs. Hope you enjoyed the journey from the Wild West to the reliable and secure heart of our digital financial future. Courtesy of Bitstop.
