#BTCBreaksATH110K On 22 May 2010, Florida-based programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two large Papa John’s pizzas. At the time, the coins were worth just $41. The transaction, arranged through a Bitcoin forum, is widely recognised as the first recorded instance of Bitcoin being used to purchase a physical item.
That modest meal has become a symbol of possibility—and of missed opportunity. Today, those same coins are worth over a billion dollars.Crypto enthusiasts around the world marked Bitcoin Pizza Day on Wednesday by honouring the first-ever real-world Bitcoin transaction. This year’s celebration coincided with a record high for Bitcoin, which surged past $111,000 (Rs 94,79,872.28), reinforcing just how far the digital asset has come since that now-legendary pizza order.
