Bitcoin Pizza Day celebrates the day a man paid 10,000 bitcoin on 2 pizzas

If you've ever bought a pizza at least once in your life, you should have paid something around $ 25, but a man paid over $ 80 million for two pizzas.

Tonight people toasted pizza and innovation celebrating Bitcoin Pizza Day.

In 2010, a developer bought two pizzas per 10,000 bitcoins worth about $ 25.

Hannah Rosenberg, a bitcoin user, said: "It's the first documented purchase of a good with bitcoin."

Currently, a single bitcoin is worth more than $ 8,000 dollars, which means that these same two pizzas at a cost of $ 10,000 bitcoins in today's valuation would be worth well over $ 80 million.

"It had to happen to someone. It makes me shudder a little, "said Jeremy Cagan, a bitcoin enthusiast.

"It's a good excuse to get together and eat pizza, but it's also a very important moment in the history of bitcoins," said Rosenberg.

Bitcoin Pizza Day, while some might say it's quirky, marks a big step forward, opening the doors to hundreds of thousands of other online sources accepting the coin.

"The next step is to start seeing applications and people's lives change because of that," said one event participant and bitcoin advocate. "It's the future."

In a New York Times interview, the man who bought the two pizzas eight years ago said he was not upset about his decision because the bitcoins were worthless, so back then the idea of ​​switching bitcoin for pizza was pretty cool.
