Happy 12th Bitcoin Pizza day 🍕🍕
Today is Bitcoin pizza day. It all started with the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin. On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, paid 10,000 Bitcoin for two Papa John's pizzas to be delivered to him. The story goes that Laszlo didn't have dollars to pay for the two pizzas so he offered his Bitcoins and got two pizzas delivered.
With this current fall in the Cryptocurrency market, the value of 10,000 Bitcoin on this day is worth $300million, It will buy millions of pizzas.
In 2010 Laszlo Hanyecz decided to try what no one has ever done before. It was a moment when bitcoin started to get more attention and people started to realize that this technology had a potential to change the world as we know it. He made his name known with what he did that year.
It was reported that He posted on a Bitcoin forum on May 18, 2010: "I'll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas" It was the first time Bitcoin was used to purchase an item. It is therefore considered to be the very first Bitcoin transaction ever made.
Since then, the value of the cryptocurrency fluctuated significantly and in November 2017 the current Bitcoin price is exceeding USD 2000 per coin.
One of the most recent notable events about Bitcoin is bitcoin cash , which came into existence following hard fork that took place in August 2017.
A hard fork is a term created from blockchain technology describing a split in the chain of blocks over time. Some people may see this as two separate currencies while others see it as one single cryptocurrency. Following this event, Bitcoin was divided into two new cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
Today makes it a year I won my first giveaway from Bitcoin.com wallet. To commemorate the Bitcoin pizza day, bitcoin.com did organized a giveaway. I participated and I was among the lucky winners.
Below is the screenshot from my Twitter, sent to me by the official bitcoin.com handle.

The reward was sent to me a week after the Bitcoin pizza day. Thanks to bitcoin.com wallet for their generosity.
Now come to think of it, if Lazlo Hanyecz bought 2 pizzas for 1000BTC. Do you know the number of pizzas 1BTC can buy now, not to talk of ten thousand. But it is what it is, his name will forever be in history as the first person to make real life transaction with Bitcoin.
Happy 12th year Bitcoin pizza day
