The famous Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated on May 22 and tomorrow will celebrate its 15th anniversary. It is celebrated by enthusiasts and cryptocurrency platforms around the world, as programmer Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for 10,000 BTC fifteen years ago.
Not only did he buy pizza with a digital currency, but he also marked the first commercial use of BTC in history. Sources reveal that, on May 22, 2010, Hanyecz used 10,000 BTC, equivalent to $42 at the time, to buy pizza, after posting an offer on the Bitcoin forum for someone to order him a Papa John's pizza for those 10,000 tokens.
Interestingly, Jeremy Sturdivant accepted it, making history. With this, they confirmed that this digital asset has value beyond the digital world. Since then, Bitcoin has become the tool to solve traditional financial problems and has gained significant value over time.
With a legendary role in the history of Bitcoin, Laszlo Hanyecz is a recognized figure in the cryptocurrency industry. It is not known for sure if he still owns BTC, but experts believe that if he did, he could be a millionaire today.
