The anniversary stems from a milestone for the industry, when in 2010 programmer Laszlo Hanyecz <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcointalk.org\/index.php?topic=137.0\">purchased<\/a> two Papa John\u2019s pizzas for 10,000 BTC.<\/p>\n<p>As of writing, they are worth about $267 million. In 2023 the community marks Bitcoin Pizza Day for the 13th time. ForkLog has gathered greetings and promotions for the celebration.<\/p>\n<p>Among supporters of the event is the cryptocurrency exchange Binance. This year the platform is running prizes, delivering pizzas in person, and hosting contests. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">To celebrate <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Bitcoin?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Bitcoin<\/a> Pizza Day, we\u2019re kicking off a series of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BinancePizza?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BinancePizza<\/a> events worldwide!<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s some of what you can look forward to:<br \/>?
