A Tasty Place to Start

In May 2010, Bitcoin made one of the most significant marks in its (short) history. Let’s look at what Bitcoin Pizza Day is, why it’s important, and the continued impact this day has on the crypto ecosystem.

Florida-based Programmer Laszlo Hanyecz conducted the first known transaction for goods using Bitcoin. His purchase? Two Papa John’s pizzas for 10,000 BTC.

And as Bitcoin’s value soared in the year’s following, Laszlo became a legend in the crypto space. He’s been documented alongside other cryptocurrency pioneers such as Satoshi Nakamoto and Hal Finney.

Today, thousands of companies now offer goods and services for the world’s most popular digital currency — and we’d love to celebrate with you today — check out our KeepKey giveaway below.
