On January 3, 2009, Bitcoins creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, mined the first block of the Bitcoin blockchain, known as the Genesis Block, which contained a reward of 50 Bitcoin. The technical foundations of Bitcoin were being established at the time, but the currency did not have any real-world value.

That changed on May 22, 2010, when Laszlo Hanyecz, a Florida-based programmer, offered 10,000 bitcoins to anyone who would order him two pizzas from Papa Johns.

Hanyecz wrote on the Bitcoin Talk forum: Ill 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 Im aiming for is getting food delivered in exchange for bitcoins where I dont 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 youre happy!

He further added what toppings he likes: 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 youre interested please let me know and we can work out a deal.
