May 22nd, 2010, the Bitcoin Pizza Transaction
On May 18th, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer posted in Bitcointalk:

“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 leftover 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.”

On May 22nd, 2010, he reported that the transaction was complete:

“I just want to report that I successfully traded 10,000 Bitcoins for pizza.”

He traded 10,000 bitcoins with Jeremy Sturdivant (jercos), a then 18 years old.
