The History of the first Bitcoin Transaction

The first bitcoin transaction involving actual goods was on 22nd May 2010. Lazlo Hanyecz a man from Jacksonville, Florida in the U.S.A . Lazlo asked to do a bitcoin transaction on a Bitcoin community social media group and mentioned that he will pay 10 000 Bitcoin for a couple of Pizza\'s. The Story of the first Bitcoin Transaction.
Mr Hanyecz ten thousand bitcoin was worth around $40 dollars at that early stage of its development. He stated on social media that it didn\'t have to come from a restaurant. He just wanted to exchange 10 000 bitcoin for 2 pizza\'s so that he still has some pizza left over for breakfast. Papa John\'s a famous American Pizza Franchise took up the offer and 2 Pizza\'s was delivered and an exchanged happened. After the exchange was done Mr Hanyecz posted on social media the information from the transaction for everyone to see.

Most recently Anothony Popliano a Bitcoin maximalist launched a celebration for the 11th anniversary of the first transaction by doing a week long Pizza Drive where 10 000 pizza\'s were up for sale in Ten cities in America
