On May 22, the global crypto community celebrates Bitcoin Pizza Day every year. This is the day when digital money first crossed the boundary of virtuality and was used to purchase a real product. This purchase was two ordinary pizzas, which later entered history as the most expensive dishes in the world.

In 2010, a programmer from Florida, Laszlo Hanyecz, posted on the crypto forum Bitcointalk an advertisement to buy pizza for bitcoins.

“I will pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas... maybe two large ones, so I have some left for the next day,” wrote Hanyecz.

In the advertisement, the programmer noted that he liked classic pizza toppings like onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, and pepperoni, but did not want to receive “weird fish toppings.”

Four days later, another forum user, Jeremy Sturdivant, responded to the offer, ordering two Papa John’s pizzas and delivering them to Laszlo. This was the first real-world purchase made with bitcoin. At that time, 10,000 bitcoins were worth just $41.
