The first recorded Bitcoin purchase was for two pizzas. On May 22, 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made a post on the Bitcoin Talk forum offering to pay 10,000 Bitcoins for someone to buy him a pizza. At the time, the value of a Bitcoin was essentially zero, so Hanyecz’s offer was not considered particularly noteworthy. However, on May 18, 2010, Hanyecz made good on his offer and sent 10,000 Bitcoins to a member of the forum in exchange for two Papa John’s pizzas, which were delivered to his home in Florida. Since then, the value of Bitcoin has risen dramatically, and the 10,000 Bitcoins that Hanyecz paid for the pizzas would be worth millions of dollars today. This event has become known as “Bitcoin Pizza Day” and is often cited as the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin.
