In May 2010, an announcement appeared on a cryptocurrency forum. Hanyecz offered to exchange 10,000 bitcoins for 2 pizzas. At that time, the value of the cryptocurrency was $41. This was the first purchase of a physical item with digital money.
Now, every year on May 22, crypto enthusiasts around the world celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day. They remember Laszlo Hanyecz and his deal, and as a festive dish, they eat pizza.
