CURIOUS FACTS CONTEST #2 Somebody bought 2 pizzas with 10,000 bitcoins in 2010 — which today would be worth $ 117 679 736

A lot of you will already know about this one but i'm still throwing this fun fact in the entry for the contest. The thought of this still turns my stomach around.

So On May 22,2010, Laszlo Hanyecz - a bitcoin developer - bought two pizzas using 10,000 bitcoin, which was not so known back then. Papa John's Pizza was one of the first businesses where you could pay with bitcoin and so they gladly made the transaction.

Now 7 years later the currency has exploded.

He posted on the Bitcoin Talk forum on May 22, 2010,

"I'll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas.. like maybe 2 large ones so I have some left over for the next day. I like having left over pizza to nibble on later. You can make the pizza yourself and bring it to my house or order it for me from a delivery place, but what I'm aiming for is getting food delivered in exchange for bitcoins where I don't have to order or prepare it myself, kind of like ordering a 'breakfast platter' at a hotel or something, they just bring you something to eat and you're happy!

"I like things like onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, etc.. just standard stuff no weird fish topping or anything like that. I also like regular cheese pizzas which may be cheaper to prepare or otherwise acquire.

"If you're interested please let me know and we can work out a deal."

Back then , 10,000 bitcoin was about 40$ worth so it was a pretty fair price.
