$BTC A piece of story behind the Bitcoin Pizza Day

In 2009, Bitcoin emerged on the financial scene as a revolutionary form of digital currency. The first real exchange rate for Bitcoin was established only in October 2009, at precisely 1 USD for 1,309 BTC. In March 2010, the first cryptocurrency exchange, BitcoinMarket.com, was launched. The idea came from an early Bitcoin enthusiast, "dwdollar" (this was his nickname), who proposed it on Bitcointalk, a forum where even Satoshi Nakamoto used to post. This exchange allowed Bitcoin to be traded for U.S. dollars via the online payment platform PayPal. The creation of BitcoinMarket was a pivotal moment for Bitcoin, as it provided a reliable and consistent way to track its price and create liquidity in the market. While BitcoinMarket laid the groundwork for future exchanges, it also encountered significant challenges that modern exchanges still face today. Ultimately, the platform ceased operations in mid-2011 due to the end of the cooperation between BitcoinMarket and PayPal, which mediated payments for Bitcoin purchases.

The 10,000 BTC offer

On the same forum where "dwdollar" shared his post, Laszlo Hanyecz published a rather extravagant announcement: I'll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas… like maybe 2 large ones so I have some left over for the next day. I like having left over pizza to nibble on later. You can make the pizza yourself and bring it to my house or order it for me from a delivery place, but what I'm aiming for is getting food delivered in exchange for bitcoins where I don't have to order or prepare it myself, kind of like ordering a 'breakfast platter' at a hotel or something, they just bring you something to eat and you're happy!

I like things like onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, etc.. just standard stuff no weird fish topping or anything like that. I also like regular cheese pizzas which may be cheaper to prepare or otherwise acquire.

If you're interested please let me know and we can work out a deal.
