On May 22, 2010, in the US, the first official trading transaction using Bitcoin was recorded in Florida. The 10,000 bitcoins were enough for Laszlo Hanyecz to buy two pizzas. The value of the cryptocurrencies at that time did not exceed $23. Today, 11 years later, 10,000 Bitcoins equal to more than $450 million, making that transaction the most successful pizza sale in mankind’s history.
