Bitcoin Pizza Day: The Most Expensive Dinner in History

On Saturday, May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz made history by completing the first documented commercial transaction using Bitcoin. From his home in Jacksonville, Florida, on a spring evening, he exchanged 10,000 BTC for two large pizzas from Papa John's. The deal was struck via the BitcoinTalk forum with Jeremy Sturdivant, who paid for the pizzas with his credit card in exchange for the digital assets.

What was worth approximately $41 USD at the time now represents a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars. The attached image aims to break down every detail of this pivotal date for the Bitcoin world, from the key players to the exact conditions of the exchange.
