On 17 may,2010,a computer programmer from florida set out to prove that bitcoin could be used as a real world currency and currently we are celebrating bitcoin pizza day.At the time,one unit of the cryptocurrency was only worth $0.008,so laszlo Hanyecz proposed buying two pizzas for what would today be an extraordinary sum of bitcoins.
"I'll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas," mr Hanyecz said on a bitcoin forum."maybe 2 large ones so i have some left over for the next day.i like having left over pizza to nibble on later".
He signed off the post "if you're interested please let me know and we can work out a deal".
