On May 22, 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanietz purchased two slices of pizza for 10,000 bitcoins. This is considered the first known real-world commercial transaction using bitcoin. At the time, 10,000 bitcoins were worth approximately $41 USD.
Why is this day important?
* Proof of actual use: This transaction demonstrated that Bitcoin can have practical value as a currency of exchange, not just a theoretical digital asset.
* Historical turning point: This day marks a milestone in the development and adoption of Bitcoin.
* Value Paradox: Over time, the value of Bitcoin has increased dramatically. At its peak, 10,000 Bitcoins were worth millions of dollars, making these two slices of pizza the most expensive meal in history.
