Ten Thousand Bitcoins, $800 million, Programmer Buys the Most Expensive Pizzas in History

Today is May 22nd, Bitcoin Pizza Day. In 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins, marking the first real-world transaction with Bitcoin. At that time, the 10,000 bitcoins were worth only $41, but today they are valued at nearly $800 million. Despite this, he has never regretted his purchase because he believes that this transaction was what truly established Bitcoin as a "currency."
