But still misleading. Articles have been written about the pizza order as the first time Bitcoin is officially used to buy something from a store or a business company. It wasn't actually the case. The pizza was actually bought from Papa John's by someone else using fiat. It was then delivered to Laszlo in exchange for the Bitcoin.
The key thing is that it was the first time when bitcoin was considered a medium of exchange with which one can satisfy one's needs for certain goods and services. What is worth noting is that from the point of view of Laszlo it was a direct exchange, that is, he purchased the good he desired directly with bitcoin, whereas the guy who delivered pizzas had first to exchange his fiat for the good Laszlo desired, which was an indirect exchange. Therefore, we can call it a first commercial transaction involving bitcoin because it was exchanged directly for real goods. What is interesting here is that bitcoin was seen as a valuable medium of exchange from the very beginning, that is why people were ready to make indirect exchanges just for the sake of acquiring bitcoin.
