Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day!
On this date 10 years ago, the first ever real-world purchase using this newly created digital currency called Bitcoin was made.
The purchase was for 2 large supreme pizzas.

The purchase of said pizza was for 10,000 bitcoins.
Which, at the time were worth somewhere between $10-$30, which seems perfectly reasonable for a pizza pie or two.
Here's the original solicitation:

This was a monumental moment in the history of the orange coin as it marked the first time a bitcoin had ever been used to buy a real-world item.
A strong of numbers on a computer had been traded to someone else for two pizzas which he could eat.
Unfortunately for him...
Those same 10,000 bitcoins are worth north of $90 million by today's prices...
Hopefully that same decade long holding yields similar returns again. :)
Stay informed my friends.

Hopefully hive gets to that level so we can all retire and not have to worry about this economic situation.
These pizzas will always be remembered for a long time😊
I thank Lazslo who with his pizza’s purchase has ignited a new financial world!
