#BinancePizza This story is famous in the world of cryptocurrencies and is known as the first transaction using Bitcoin to buy something from the real world. Here are the details:

### The Story of the First Purchase with Bitcoin

- **Date**: May 2010

- **Person involved**: A programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz

- **What happened**:

In May 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, then a Bitcoin enthusiast, made a post on a cryptocurrency forum (Bitcointalk) offering 10,000 bitcoins in exchange for two pizzas. He wanted to buy pizzas and use Bitcoin for that, as at the time Bitcoin was still a relatively new technology and not widely accepted as a means of payment.

- **The original request**:

Laszlo posted on the forum:

> "If anyone wants to make a trade, I can pay 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas of something you like".

- **The acceptance**:

A user named Jeremy Sturdivant (known as *jerc8* in the community) accepted the trade. He sent the pizzas to Laszlo, completing the first Bitcoin transaction for physical goods.

- **The value of bitcoins at the time**:

At the time, 10,000 bitcoins were worth about $41 US dollars. Today (in 2025), that amount of Bitcoin would be worth millions of dollars due to the appreciation of the cryptocurrency.

- **Historical significance**:

This transaction is considered the first real use of Bitcoin to purchase goods. It marks the beginning of the acceptance of Bitcoin as a digital currency capable of making real-world transactions.
