Today, Monday, marks the 7th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza, the moment a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz spent 10,000 Bitcoin to buy two Papa John's pizzas.
According to a report by CNBC, what goes beyond the importance of remembering the occasion is the wide-ranging change that has occurred in the digital currency since it was first used, after it exceeded the $2,100 level today.
Bitcoin rose during Monday's trading to $2,185, continuing to break its record levels with new unprecedented levels, after exceeding the $2,000 barrier over the weekend, according to the CoinDesk website.
The story of the "Bitcoin Pizza" dates back to May 22, 2010, when Hanich asked his fellow enthusiast on the Bitcoin forum to accept ten thousand of the digital currency in exchange for giving him two pizzas made by "Papa John's", where the value of the currency was estimated at about $ 0.003 per unit at the time.
This means that the pizza that cost Hanich $30 seven years ago is now worth $21.8 million at today's Bitcoin prices. In other words, someone who bought $100 worth of Bitcoin on May 22, 2010, now owns assets worth $72.9 million.
