An interesting story happened in May 2010, when Bitcoin was still very new and easy to mine. A guy called Laszlo Hanyecz, a US programmer, bought two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. That time 10000 BTC equaled to $25 only. Can you imagine? Strange, but it happened indeed. This purchase is believed to be the first transaction using Bitcoin for payment. Laszlo ordered two pizzas on 18th May, and on 22nd, as he reported, his order was fulfilled. Unbelievable as it may sound; nowadays this amount of coins can give any investor about $45 million!
Since that time, 18th May has been regarded as Bitcoin Pizza Day. When you try to exchange your fiat money to Bitcoin, many online exchanges show a joke message telling how many pizzas you could buy today for 10,000 BTC (it is about 42 million pizzas at the current exchange rate).
He he he.. lol
