The person who bought pizza with Bitcoin is named Laszlo Hanyecz, and he is an American programmer with a famous story in the history of cryptocurrencies. On May 22, 2010, Laszlo paid 10,000 bitcoins to buy two pizzas from Papa John’s, which was the first real-world purchase using Bitcoin in the world.
At that time, the 10,000 bitcoins were worth very little, approximately 41 US dollars. But over the years, as the price of Bitcoin rose, the 10,000 bitcoins that Laszlo paid became worth millions of dollars, making the story one of the most famous in the history of cryptocurrencies.
This day is celebrated every year in the cryptocurrency community and is called "Bitcoin Pizza Day," as a reminder of the beginning of Bitcoin usage in real-world transactions.
Would you like me to add something about the impact of this story on the crypto market or how Bitcoin pizza became a symbol of progress in this field? 🚀
