Today, Bitcoin can be used as a real-world currency — and it’s all thanks to Laszlo Hanyecz and his 10,000 BTC pizza appetite.
On May 17, 2010, Laszlo — who was a contributing coder for Bitcoin at the time — was on a mission to prove Bitcoin can be used to buy two pizzas. On the 22nd, Laszlo paid a fellow 10,000 BTC to sell two Papa John’s pizzas to him — without any regrets.
Laszlo became the first person to ever make a documented purchase using Bitcoin. Since then, thousands of companies have offered up goods and services for the world’s most popular digital currency (including us) — which we’d love to celebrate with you today.
Now it’s your turn to munch down a digitally purchased pizza on one of the most celebrated days in Bitcoin history.
New at Bitrefill — you can wolf down a delicious Italian pizza pie from Bertucci’s and Buca Di Beppo. Available to our US-based pizza lovers, you can purchase a gift card at one of these two fine restaurants with Bitcoin on Bitrefill.com.
