History of the first pizza purchased with Bitcoin remembered

On May 19, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. Since that event, the crypto community has celebrated this date annually as Bitcoin Pizza Day.

On the BitcoinTalk forum, he asked who could exchange two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. At that time, the total value of this cryptocurrency was $25.

Four days later, Laszlo Hanyecz announced that the exchange had been successfully completed. This event remains in history as the first real-world purchase made with Bitcoin.

Currently, the value of those 10,000 BTC has reached approximately $767 million. At today's exchange rate, this amount is nearly 9.9 trillion soums.
