🍕₿ TODAY IN HISTORY – May 22, 2010

On this day, Laszlo Hanyecz made the first recorded commercial transaction using Bitcoin, trading 10,000 BTC for two Papa John’s pizzas.

One guy. Two pizzas. Ten thousand bitcoins.
Yeah, you read that right. 10,000 BTC.
For two pepperoni pizzas.

On this day, Laszlo Hanyecz made the first recorded commercial transaction using Bitcoin, trading 10,000 BTC for two pizzas from Papa John’s.

And that’s how Bitcoin Pizza Day was born, the day that marks Bitcoin’s transition from an abstract idea to… calorie-packed food.


📉 At today’s rate, those pizzas would cost a couple billion reais.
But back in 2010? It was just visionary nerdiness with a hunger.


💡 And what does this have to do with digital creative economy?

ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.

  • It was the first step towards the whole Web3 revolution.

  • It’s the starting point of the culture of cryptocurrencies, tokens, NFTs, and DAOs.

  • It proves that innovation sometimes starts with hunger and curiosity.


🎯 Blockchain moral:
Every big revolution starts with a ridiculous transaction.
