12 years ago today, history was made when Laszlo Hanzecz bought 2 pizzas with 10,000 bitcoins. First-ever item purchased with decentralized digital currency.

Today May 22, 2022 crypto lovers are celebrating Bitcoin pizza day. Our 12th anniversary.

Previously cryptos were not accepted as a payment method, but after a man from Florida bought a meal using Bitcoin, that was all people could talk about.

On 22 May 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer and BTC miner from Florida, used the crypto to purchase two pizzas from Papa John’s. It is the first physical item purchased with the first decentralized digital currency.

Laszlo Hanyecz who spent cryptocurrency (10,000 BTC) now worth over 295,000,000.00 USD on 2 pizzas said he has no regrets.

After the first transaction, Hanyecz would go on to do it many more times and spend a total of 100,000 Bitcoin on pizza that summer - now worth $2,9billion.

THE NUMBERS ARE GROWING AND SO IS CRYPTO, more than 15,000 establishments worldwide already accept cryptocurrency as payment.

To commemorate Lazlo's legendary transaction, May 22 is dubbed Bitcoin Pizza Day.
