Happy Pizza Day 🍕
A man putting a bitcoin into another man's hand in exchange for a pizza!
15 years ago, a software developer paid for two pizzas with 10,000 bitcoin. Those pies would be worth $1.1 billion today
Bitcoin Pizza Day marks the first reported exchange of cryptocurrency for a consumer product, which occurred on May 22, 2010.
It’s not an official holiday – yet – but for many cryptocurrency enthusiasts “Bitcoin Pizza Day” is still special.
The 10,000 bitcoin that software developer Laszlo Hanyecz paid for two Papa John’s pizzas delivered to his Florida home on May 22, 2010, were worth about $41 at the time. Today they’re worth $1.1 billion, as bitcoin hits record high prices.
