Bitcoin Pizza Day: Fourteen years ago today Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 Bitcoin for a pizza, marking the first commercial transaction made using the cryptocurrency. And with it, Bitcoin Pizza Day was born.
The Florida-based programmer, aged 28 at the time, posted a pizza order in a Bitcoin Talk Forum on May 22, 2010.
He wanted a pizza delivery “where I don’t have to order or prepare it myself, kind of like ordering a ‘breakfast platter’ at a hotel or something, they just bring you something to eat and you’re happy!”
