🍕 “The Million-Dollar Pizza: The First Bitcoin Transaction”

On May 22, 2010, a programmer from Florida, Laszlo Hanyecz, made history by completing the first documented purchase with Bitcoin. 💻 He paid 10,000 BTC for… two pizzas! 🍕🍕 At the time, Bitcoin’s value was extremely low, and this transaction seemed like just a curiosity.

Hanyecz posted on a Bitcoin forum, saying he wanted to buy pizza 🍕 and offered cryptocurrency in exchange. 🧑‍💻 Another user accepted the offer, ordered pizza from Papa John’s, and had it delivered to Hanyecz, marking the beginning of Bitcoin’s use as a payment method.

Today, those 10,000 BTC would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars 💸💰, making that pizza one of the most expensive in history. 🌍 Since then, May 22 has been celebrated as “Bitcoin Pizza Day” 🎉, symbolizing the start of cryptocurrencies in everyday life.
