Bought on 22nd May 2010 by Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer; paid a fellow Bitcoin Talk forum user 10,000 BTC for two Papa John’s pizzas. 

        Quite Extrordinary


Back then the technology was just over a year old, that equated to roughly $25, but is $23,344,800.00 by today’s exchange rate.

Now widely recognised as the first real-world transaction with bitcoin, May 22nd has come to celebrate 'Bitcoin Pizza Day', with cryptocurrency enthusiasts raising a slice to Hanyecz’s infamous hunger pangs that paved the way for early merchant adoption.


"It wasn’t like bitcoins had any value back then, so the idea of trading them for a pizza was incredibly cool" 

Hanyecz quoted in an interview with the New York Times............ Quite the understatement!!
