14 years ago - May 22, 2010 - Las Vegas programmer Laszlo Heinitz for the first time in history paid for a real purchase with bitcoin - two Papa John's mushroom pizzas with sausages, tomatoes and onions, which cost him "only" 10,000 BTC (at that time $ 25).

Heinitz posted an ad on the BitcoinTalk forum, after which one of the few connoisseurs of cryptocurrency at the time generously agreed to accept coins to his wallet and arrange delivery to the desired address.

Now 10,000~BTC=$700million.

Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day!
