Bitcoin's Pizza Milestone: $1.1B in Today's Prices
In 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made history by exchanging 10,000 Bitcoin for two Papa John's pizzas. This transaction, worth a mere $41 at the time, has since become a legendary moment in Bitcoin's journey to global recognition.
Hanyecz's pizza purchase, now known as 'Bitcoin Pizza Day', occurred on May 22, 2010. It marked the first real-world use of Bitcoin to buy a tangible product, transforming the digital asset from a theoretical concept into a functioning medium of exchange. The transaction was a significant milestone in establishing Bitcoin as a legitimate means of payment.
Today, the value of Bitcoin has skyrocketed. In 2010, one Bitcoin was worth just $0.004. Now, it's worth over $111,000. This means Hanyecz's 10,000 Bitcoin, which he spent on two pizzas, are now worth over $1.1 billion. At current prices, those Bitcoin could buy over 53 million pizzas.
Hanyecz's pizza purchase remains the most expensive pizza order ever made. It was a pivotal moment in Bitcoin's history, demonstrating its potential as a currency. Today, Bitcoin's value continues to rise, making that simple pizza order a testament to its extraordinary journey.
