🍕 In May 2010, a programmer from Florida named Laszlo Hanyecz made a post on a Bitcoin forum offering to pay 10,000 Bitcoins to anyone who would send him two large pizzas at home. At that time, 10,000 Bitcoins were worth around $40.
A 19-year-old young man in England accepted the offer and sent Laszlo two Papa John's pizzas. This transaction is considered the first real-world purchase using Bitcoin.
Although it seemed like a normal transaction at the time, with the massive increase in the value of Bitcoin over the years, those 10,000 Bitcoins eventually became worth millions of dollars!
So, the story of Laszlo Hanyecz and his two pizzas has become a milestone in Bitcoin history, celebrated every year on "Bitcoin Pizza Day" on May 22 to remember this peculiar first transaction. Who would have thought that some pizzas would become a symbol of cryptocurrency!
