Today is the day of Bitcoin Pizza. Just passed the eighth anniversary of the famous purchase of bitcoin pizzas. The event took place on May 22, 2010 between two users of the discussion forum - BitcoinTalk.org. The subject of the transaction were two pizzas with peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes and pepperoni. The transaction value is 10,000 BTC (PLN 300 million according to today's exchange rate).

Recall, Bitcoin was created in 2009. So, if you can now call him a child, in 2010 he was just in its infancy. The value of all 10,000 bitcoins used in the transaction was just a few dollars ...

Who can blame the first few enthusiasts of this technology that even in their wildest dreams and dreams they could not predict that one day these two pizzas would be worth over 80 million dollars.

It was not that bitcoins would have any value, so the idea of ​​their trading on pizzas seemed extremely attractive. Nobody knew that it would become so big "- said in 2013 in an interview with The New York Times, Laszlo Hanyecz, one of the participants of the famous transaction.
