Bitcoin Pizza Day - May 22, 2010
On May 22, 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made history by completing the first known commercial transaction using Bitcoin. He paid 10,000 BTC for two Papa John's pizzas, a deal facilitated by Jeremy Sturdivant who ordered the pizzas for him. At the time, Bitcoin was worth fractions of a cent, making 10,000 BTC worth about $41. Today, Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated annually by the crypto community as a reminder of how far the technology has come - and how expensive those pizzas truly turned out to be.
