Such a great story, if you have followed Laszlo Hanyecz at all you know that he is passionate about Bitcoin and doesn't regret purchasing the pizza for that many coins. He is actually quite pleased that he is a part of its history  Smiley

It was a good deal and if more of the bitcoin holders had done the same thing bitcoin would have been widespread today.

The Pizza Purchase

The first retail purchase on May 22, 2010 is probably the most famous story in Bitcoin history. Jacksonville, Florida Bitcoin “miner” Laszlo Hanyecz pays 10,000 Bitcoins that he mined himself for two pizzas. At the time, Bitcoin did technically have an exchange rate of a few cents, but who knew that? The purchase price for the pizza was approximately U$25. Selling 10,000 units of unknown computer code for two real pizzas seemed like a great deal at the time.

“It wasn’t like Bitcoins had any value back then, so the idea of trading them for a pizza was incredibly cool,” Mr. Hanyecz told the New York Times recently.

The year of 2010 sees many first for Bitcoin, including the first escrow transaction (October 16), the first mobile transaction (December Cool and the first time Bitcoin’s total value exceeded US$1 million on November 6, with each bitcoin trading for approx. US$0.50. Bitcoin is now a real currency.
