This was the first real transaction where bitcoin was used to purchase goods. Programmer Laszlo Hanyecz spent 10,000 BTC on two Papa John's pizzas, which at that time cost about 41 US dollars. Today, those 10,000 BTC would be worth much more, making this purchase the most expensive in history.

It happened 15 years ago on this day.

Thank you, Laszlo, for a festive day in our industry!

Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day, ladies and gentlemen!
