It became a day of celebration for the entire community of enthusiastic Cryptos, but do you know the story behind May 22?? Come, I'll give you a little history lesson 😅✅
It all started on May 18, 2010, when Laszlo Hanjecz, a developer based in Florida, made an announcement that would lead to this Bitcoin Pizza Day story 🍕 🍕 on a forum called "Bitcointalk". The announcement was:
"I'll pay 10,000 #BTC for a couple of pizzas.... like maybe 2 large ones so I have some left for the next day. I like having leftover 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"
What he wanted:
🔶 Two pizzas
🔶 No matter the origin (homemade or bought)
🔶 Delivery to his home in Florida
🔶 payment in 10,000 BTC
✅ Answer:
On May 22, 2010, Jeremy Sturdivant (pseudonym: Jercos) accepted the offer and ordered the pizzas from Papa John's for about $41, and Laszlo transferred the 10,000 BTC
It was the first commercial transaction in Bitcoin history
Which established the value of Bitcoin at $0.0041
What we can take away is that it is thanks to this transaction that Bitcoin moved from being just a code to becoming a means of exchange
And you, would you have accepted to take 10,000 BTC for $41 knowing that it had no value at that time???
