On May 22, 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made the first real Bitcoin transaction when he bought two pizzas in Jacksonville, Florida for 10,000 BTC. At the time, that was worth about $30. Today, these Bitcoins would be valued at millions of dollars. "Bitcoin Pizza Day" is celebrated every year by the cryptocurrency community as a historic milestone, highlighting Bitcoin's appreciation potential and the beginning of its use in commercial transactions.
