🍕 The First Bitcoin Pizza: A Historic Bite
On May 22, 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made history by buying two pizzas with 10,000 Bitcoins. This was the first-ever real-world transaction using Bitcoin.$BTC
At that time, Bitcoin had no real value. Laszlo posted on a forum offering 10,000 Bitcoins in exchange for two large pizzas. A user named Jeremy Sturdivant accepted the offer and ordered the pizzas for him.
Back then, those Bitcoins were worth about $41. Today, they’d be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Since then, May 22 is celebrated as Bitcoin Pizza Day, reminding us how a simple pizza order marked the beginning of a financial revolution.$ETH
