🍕🤑 In 2010, he paid 10,000 bitcoins for 2 pizzas, today it would be worth over 1 billion dollars
🗓 15 years ago, Bitcoin was just a small internet project. Therefore, paying 10,000 units of this currency for 2 pizzas seemed like a good deal.
Currently, it would be equivalent to paying 1,031,837,000 dollars. In May 2010, not many things had happened: Spain had not won the World Cup, the last GTA was IV, and Bitcoin was worth 0.003 dollars.
Precisely because of this last point, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid for 2 pizzas with 10,000 bitcoins. He exchanged that amount for a meal valued at 41 dollars; 15 years later, that amount equals 1.031 billion dollars.
"I will pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas. Maybe two large ones, so I have leftovers for the next day," he posted on the Bitcointalk forum on May 22, 2010. The message sparked interest, so a forum user sent him two pizzas from Papa John's in exchange.
Since then, May 22 is known in the Bitcoin community as 'Pizza Day', as it was the first known commercial transaction with Bitcoin.
