#PizzaDay
What is Bitcoin Pizza Day?
On May 22, 2010, a Hungarian programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made the first purchase of a physical item using cryptocurrencies. In this case, two pepperoni pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoins. One day before making this purchase, Hanyecz entered a forum of Bitcoin enthusiasts (which had been created in 2008, meaning it was still quite new) and launched a challenge: he would send, via P2P transaction, ten thousand units of Bitcoin to anyone who would agree to buy him a pizza. This amount was just a fraction of what he had already mined: at that time, he had around 70,000 units in his wallet.
On the other end, an interested party appeared: a resident of California, who placed the order at a local pizzeria in Jacksonville and had it delivered to the Hungarian programmer's apartment.
The question we all ask ourselves is:
And does the pizzeria still have those 10K of $BTC ???
