Today we’re celebrating Bitcoin Pizza Day! On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz made history by completing the first-ever commercial transaction using Bitcoin, when 10,000 BTC were traded for two pizzas.
At the time, those 10,000 Bitcoins were worth about $41. Today? They’re worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It might sound like an expensive lunch in hindsight, but it proved to the world that Bitcoin actually had real-world purchasing power. 🌍
