The famous “Bitcoin pizza” purchase happened on May 22, 2010. Florida programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC (then worth about $41) for two large Papa John’s pizzas that were delivered to his home in Jacksonville, Florida, where today is worth over 800 MILLION dollars This happened in the USA, in a US based pizza shop. This was the first EVER BTC purchase on chain in HISTORY. On RH, that’s paired with BTC. Millions.

16 years later, this is still UNBELIEVABLE... Today marks the ANNIVERSARY of the 10,000 $BTC pizza order. On this day in 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz posted on BitcoinTalk: "I'll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas..." He later became the first person ever to spend Bitcoin on a real-world good. At BTC’s ATH, that pizza order was worth over $1.26 BILLION.

18 years ago today, a stranger changed money forever. On October 31, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto sent a 9-page paper to a cryptography mailing list with an idea and a name nobody had heard before: "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System." Two months later, Satoshi mined the very first block and hid a London Times headline inside of it about banks on the brink of a second bailout. Days later, the first transaction on Bitcoin took place, with 10 BTC moving from Satoshi to Hal Finney. By 2010, Bitcoin was real enough that Laszlo Hanyecz traded 10,000 of them for two pizzas. And then Satoshi started to fade. The forum posts stopped in December 2010, and in April 2011, one last email said "moved on to other things." Since then, $BTC has grown far beyond what anyone could have imagined, even without its creator. It survived four halvings, became legal tender in El Salvador, Wall Street got spot ETFs, the US government created a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, and in October 2025, it touched an all-time high of $126,198. Happy 18th Birthday, Bitcoin! 🎂🧡
