Today, May 22, crypto-world celebrates the anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day. Eight years ago, the Czech crypto-enthusiast Laszlo Hanyecz made the first real bitcoin (Bitcoin: BITCOIN) purchase in history.
Hanesh transferred 10,000 BTC to his programmer friend, who ordered two pizzas from Papa John's restaurant. Back then, the price for 1 bitcoin was about $0.003 (so he actually paid $30 for pizzas).
Today, 10,000 BTC are worth $83 million. If Hanesh would not have spent these bitcoins eight years ago, today he could buy a luxury penthouse in Manhattan, or a bunch of other cool things.
