​The pepperoni on the first pizza bought with Bitcoin is worth $6.5M today

It’s been 13 years since programmer Laszlo Hanyecz made the first commercial transaction with Bitcoin on May 22, 2010, buying two supreme pizzas from Papa John’s for a whopping 10,000 BTC, or $266 million at current prices.

That day is known and celebrated as Bitcoin Pizza Day.

“Bitcoin Pizza Day” marks the world’s first transaction for real-world goods using Bitcoin and celebrates the massive rise in the value of the cryptocurrency since then, which was worth only $0.0041 in May 2010 and is now worth over $26,500 at current prices.

In the end, Hanyecz’s pizza order was delivered four days after he posted his request on May 18, 2010, on the Bitcointalk forum.
