Bitcoin achieved a historic milestone today, surging past the $111,000 threshold and setting a new all-time high at $111,861.22. This significant move comes as a perfect timing coincidence for Bitcoin Pizza Day, marking both its early beginnings and its current market dominance. 15 years ago, during this pivotal day in Bitcoin history, Laszlo Hanyecz made the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin, paying for two Papa John’s pizzas with 10,000 BTC – a purchase now worth over $1 billion today. This historic event cemented Bitcoin’s place as a viable alternative to traditional financial systems. The latest surge in prices has fueled optimism about its potential. Market experts attribute this rise to expanding decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and increasing institutional investment, indicating a shift toward mainstream adoption. 15 years later, Bitcoin continues to demonstrate strong momentum with the new high setting it on course for further growth.
