The Day Bitcoin Bought Pizza

Today, crypto fans celebrate the first real purchase made with Bitcoin.

On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two Papa John’s pizzas. At that time, it was worth about $41. Today, those bitcoins would be worth nearly $800 million.

This became the first famous example of using Bitcoin to buy something in real life.

Old Bitcoin Wallet Becomes Active After 12 Years

A Bitcoin holder moved 500 BTC for the first time since 2013. The coins were sent to a new wallet.

Today, the value of these Bitcoins is around $41 million. Back in 2013, they were worth only about $457,000.

Nobody knows why the owner moved the coins. In many cases, activity from old wallets can happen before funds are sold or transferred to crypto exchanges.
