16 years ago today, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 Bitcoin for two Papa John's pizzas and accidentally made history.
At the time, those 10,000 Bitcoin were worth just $41. It was the first time anyone had ever used cryptocurrency to buy something real, something you could hold in your hands and eat for dinner.
That one transaction proved that a decentralized, borderless currency wasn't just a theoretical concept. It had real value and it actually worked.
Today those 10,000 Bitcoin are worth over $770,000,000.
The rest is history.
Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day.
