Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day to everyone!
On this day 11 years ago, Laszlo Hanyecz made the first ever real world payment with bitcoins, buying 2 pizzas from Papa John’s for 10,000 BTC (about 300 million dollars today) and the event has since been celebrated each year on the 22nd May.
But did you know that Lazlo also coded one of the first ever GPU miners? The reason he had so many coins to spend on pizza in the first place is because he was an early experimenter with using a GPU instead of a CPU to mine bitcoin.
Things have much evolved since those early days, and NiceHash now makes it easier and easier to mine your own cryptocurrencies, with just the click of a mouse. Try our QuickMiner on the link below, and buy yourself a pizza with your earnings in one day!
It’s great to see that 11 years on, Domino's Pizza in the Netherlands even pays their staff in Bitcoin!
What’s next for the crypto world? What have you bought directly with BTC or other cryptocurrencies? Let us know!
