One of the most famous stories in the cryptocurrency world dates back to May 22, 2010. On that day, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made the first commercial transaction with bitcoins. He offered 10,000 BTC to someone to order two pizzas from Papa Johnâs.
At the time, those 10,000 BTC were worth about $41. Today, with the value of bitcoin (even at $30,000 for example), those 10,000 BTC would be worth about $300 million.
Since then, the day has been celebrated annually as Bitcoin Pizza Day, a fun reminder of the incredible evolution of cryptocurrencies and the humble beginnings of what has become a global financial revolution.
Moral: What you spend today could be worth a fortune tomorrow!
