The first purchase paid with cryptocurrencies. On May 18, 2010, the Hungarian-American programmer, Laszlo Hanyecz, offered 10,000 bitcoins for two large pizzas, which currently amount to 610 million dollars, due to the new historical rise this Wednesday.

"I will pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas. Maybe two large ones, so I have some left for the next day," the man wrote on the Bitcointalk forum and added: "What I'm looking for is to have food delivered in exchange for bitcoins so I don't have to order it or prepare it myself, like ordering breakfast in a hotel." A few days later, Hanyecz announced that he had "successfully" exchanged the cryptocurrency for food, after "jercos," a British forum user whose real name is Jeremy Sturdiva, paid 25 dollars for the pizzas from Papa John's. Back then, 10,000 bitcoins were worth 41 dollars.

Over the years, Bitcoin reached its historic peak only in November 2021, when it surpassed 65,000 dollars per bitcoin.

"For years, I have made numerous purchases exploring the world of Bitcoin software and other similar assets, although I have always considered it more of a hobby," he shared in an interview with Cointelegraph in 2018. "However, I must admit that I have rarely used Bitcoin for face-to-face transactions; my experience has mainly focused on online purchases," he explained.

This event that changed the global perception of the crypto world established May 22 as Bitcoin Pizza Day. A historic date, not so much because it was the first commercial use, but for the value that bitcoin would take in the following years.#BinancePizza
